Pas trop de chose à faire une journée bien remplis pi l'autre on se la coule douce dans un petit resto italien de la french concession à shanghai avec une bonne petite hoegaarden et un mega spag bolognese …

Hello, friends. Oh, thank you thank you thank you for your comments on our last two blogs. We appreciate it. This one will be short.

To be honest, there wasn't a whole lot we missed from back home when we first got here. We were dazzled by the differences and that was satisfying. But after 6 months we'd be lying if we said that we didn't …

Hello Canada,

It has been so long since our last update. This week marks the half way point and at times we still find ourselves asking if we are really in China. There are many stories to be told, but it would take us hours to write them all down. Jenn and Kyla had an adventure to a neighbouring city which ended in Jenn having to come …

Before I visited Shanghai, I imagined China to be a vast mass of land covered with forest, valleys and hills; with traditional Chinese buildings scattered all over.But when I landed in Shanghai, I realized that the city might as well be a separate entity from the rest of China.Even though other regions like Beijing are developed,Shanghai seems to …

Today we walked to a Metro stop about three blocks from our hotel. Using the English option on the automated kiosk in the subway station we bought fare cards to get to the Pearl Tower in Pudong. You pay only for the distance you will travel, and our one-way trip cost 3 Yuan each ($0.48). It's a short trip, but requires transfering from the Red Line …

Today, I got myself together and went to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium. I planned out directions on my Shanghai subway iPod app. It took a while to get there but I eventually arrived. While on the subway, a crazy old lady was talking to me in a language I didn't understand. I humored her just in case she was the violent kind of crazy. When another …

dag 54: Gedaan met alle luxe en weer terug naar Shanghai. 's Ochtends wordt nog even uitgebreid ontbeten want nou is het nog gratis en dan verlaten we het schip. Op het schip staat in een flyer dat je de royal carribean taxi van de boot naar het hotel moet pakken, want er zouden niet genoeg taxi's beschikbaar zijn in de haven. Na 2 maanden reizen …

We have had a whirlwind couple of days here as we get accustomed to the city. There is no shortage of things to do, and we could not ask for better guides. After our flight touched down and we made our way through customs, we met up with (and I met) Jim and Colleen and made our way to their apartment. We had a nice dinner at their place before …

27/08/2012: Day Ten

My initial impression of the hostel I'm now in is that it’s very unsociable. Last night everyone sat there in their small groups or solo with their laptops in front of their faces. There was no atmosphere, no partying, no drinking and no raucous behaviour. It was my own personal hell. Being the social butterfly …

Hello, haven't put anything down here for a while, so I thought I would put a little update about what I did on the weekend. It was a fairly eventful weekend as we had a staff dinner/bowling night on Friday night courtesy of the big school. It was pretty fun and the dinner was actually edible for a change! I sure didn't bowl very well though... …

... , we woke up early and went back to the main part of downtown, where Pearl Tower is. Very close to Pearl Tower is the Shanghai Aquarium, which was our destination. But, we got there over an hour before it opened, accidentally. So, we walked to a nearby ...

... full of good intentions but not a lot of follow through. The only thing we planned was an impromptu trip to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, which was pretty fantastic. It was a lot different than an American aquarium in that the exhibits are more giant ...

... the tower wasn't worth it, however, as smog once again was blanketing the city. From there, I walked over to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium (RMB120 - approx $17). This was a very pleasant way to spend the morning in air-conditioned bliss. I was sitting ...

... the whole tunnel is this crazy light show kind of thing. Actually pretty lame, but interesting.  Also went to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, which was really neat. They have all these tubes that you can walk through under the aquariums so that the ...
