Marat and Amit will both fly to Shanghai today arriving tomorrow. Don't know what time they will arrive though.
If they are flying together they might fly from Frankfurt to Shanghai - so check what flights are arriving tomorrow.
Good Luck

there is no Shanghai thread, so I post the summary of Marat's reports in Shanghai here.

Marat arrived Shanghai yesterday and at the meantime the BackStreet Boys would land too. so there were many fans in the airport then(mostly for BSB). but still, when Marat walked out the fans got excited.  when Marat awared that he was not the aim but BSB was, he said that he and his family loved the band too. (GOD BLESS! I don't get his words in english but only chinese report, it is said that Marat said: my wife loves the band very much....    stupid report!  )

as you have seen, his horrible hippo hair is still there....  some one asked if he want to change his hairstyle, he answered that he just couldn't cos his hair is just too much!... = =||| while his CK is there too!  it is said that the CK showed up once again.  

he changed his necklace. he said that the former ones were broken.

he said that he had no girlfriend at the very moment. who knows!

as to his return time, he said that it will be in two months.

someone asked if he will go to see any TMC match. he said no cos none has invited him till then.  a chinese fan asked the same question while he said he watchs his own matches only.   

as his looking now many people call him "Uncle McDonald's".

there might be some commercial activities and itw later. wish I could bring you more reports even some pics.

hehe, I come to show some fans experience now. there are some lucky girls meeting him in court and hotel yesterday. 

Marat was leaving the court then and be found by some fans. they rushed to him but be hold back by bodyguards.  still a girl huged Marat from his back.  once again she was hold back. then Marat got on to the car. but then Marat put down the car window and get those girls' pen and photoes in to sign on them. the girl said that he was very very nice.  (a news said that he is very warm to fans but a little bit cool to media.  )

another fan went to the hotel. here is her report translation:

there is few people in the hotel hall when I got there. so I had a beer in the bar. I was told that Marat took a beer and left just now. OMG, how long I have to wait!!!

then Davy steped in. but he walked so fast that I didn't catch up to him. I was back to the bar to go on waiting. the bartender told me there might be impossible to meet him today. she asked for my phone nember and posters and promised to get Marat's sign for me. I was a little bit unwilling but decided to leave soon.

suddenly Marat appeared! he had a cute felt hat on his head and swung into the hotel. I was so excited and rushed to him. he was in the good mood. so I took out my DV and ask a photo with him. he said yes right away and reminded me moving the lens cover. God bless! if I really forgot that I would go to hell now! then he even told me to smile. he was so cute! 

then I said some blah to him like the rank and points just are shit while the health is the most important, enjoy the life in you way as possible as you can and so on. at last I told him that I could only say one sentence in Russian. (I just learnt it from my friend  ) and I said.... GOSH, I forgot it in the half....     I took a look at my hand(I wrote it there) and said once again. then he smiled to me so warmly and winked his bright eyes! I asked: you really know what I say? he answered yes! OMG, he actually underdtood my Russian!!!   (EDIT: the russian sentence is: Marat, pls promise us to stay healthy. don't get injury anymore!!!)

then I thought I have troubled him for a long time and should leave. so I told him to have a good time in Shanghai and be about to leave. he thanked me many times even showed me praying gesture(just like Pardron's gesture)! haha, he was really really cute!!! 

then I left. but when I was back to the bar the bartender said I had not gotten his autograph. I shouted: Marat, wait a moment. he turned back and signed seriously on my poster(he signed a full name!) even without my demand.  in the same time I show him a poster written: Marat.Safin, see you on court next year! he thanked me again and again. 

then he left and I found that he was really a genial guy. there are many girls in the hotel saying hello to him and he is always keeping his charming simle to them! 

forgive my pale translation. wish you enjoy it. today he has press conference and other activties. wish I could bring more info for you.
