Bullet train to freedom
Went to the embroydery factory but by now we were 'crafted out'. Boarded the express train to Shanghai. 40 minute trip but only 25 Yan $2.70 in Soft Seats. Immaculate train, clean, fast silent and more leg room than British Airways. Top tip, train travel in China is very good and extremely reliable. Arrived in Shanghai in the mist for yet another …

Frow DFW to Shangers and beyond
... the day in a very clean but cheap hotel room in downtown Xinxua (she-shuh), I was far to excited to sleep and wandered around town alone never seeing anyone familiar but and endless supply of Chinese people, most of whom were staring and pointing at me.
