Hello again! Apologies for the sporadic entries - there really aren't that many internet cafes in China and our hotel in Shanghai didn't have a computer so I wasn't able to do any updating. We left Beijing by night train and travelled 14 hours to Shanghai. The night train was an experience - better in some ways than I'd expected, but worse in others!
There are 2 classes of sleeping compartments soft (with TV and 4 beds to a cabin) and hard (no TV and 6 beds to a cabin). We traveled har...
After a quiet night on board, we arrive in Shanghai, get our lugagge nad pass the immigration controls. Our guide is already waiting for us, a nice girl called Yenny, who explains us many things about the country and the city on our way to the hotel. We REALLY need a shower, it's very HOT in Shanghai. There are many roads under construction, because of the World Expo in 2010. The circulations is an absolute chaos. We check in, have a shower, and we are ready for the first visit, but before th...

After lunch, our guide takes us to a little tour in Yichang before going to the airport. Just enough time to have a walk by the river shore, and a quick visit to the city museum. After that, we are left at the airport, where we will take our flight to Shanghai, via Wuhan. We will arrive in Shanghai later than what we thought. Once in Shanghai, we meet our new guide, Iris, what a difference with Yenny! We get to the hotel just in time to go out for some supper and prepare lugagge for our depar...

Our journey is ending, and we feel sad for that but happy to go back home. It is raining in Hangzhou, but we still go for a walk before breakfast, which is excellent in this hotel. After that, we are heading for Feilai peak, some kind of garden with a misterious mountain in it. The legend says that this big rock came flying from India. It could have stayed there. It is not worth seeing it. Some sculptures of Buddha and some dark caves under the rock. Beside this "Flying mountain" we visit Lin...

Today we could sleep a little bit more but we prefer to have a walk in the Bund. It is not raining, nut the temperature is perfect. We have breakfast and prepare for a shopping day. We go to Yuyuan market, and we can go there walking, with time enough to enter the bank for changing some money to spend. Then we begin to spend moneu buying a lot of innecessary things for us, for our friends and for the family. At lunch time, we decide to go to Pizza Hut, but it has been really a bad idea, very ...

... We met up with Kim and Kensie again and wondered. We got more pictures of Watson, the jellyfish. Then we met up with Megan and John again for curry, but we didn't eat. John had found an English bookstore and we all headed on over there. This town is a lot more fun with others. The train back to Anqing left at 23:33, which was later than we thought it would leave, but it was okay. In our cabin it was only Kensie, John, Steve and I. It was a lovely weekend.

... and so ready to come home. Speaking of which... I am going home. Tomorrow. Less than a day. This is not real to me at all, yet. I do not have any idea how to write about this, because I have absolutely no idea what to say about it right now. The only thing I can think of is that it feels just as incomprehensible and strange as leaving Canada did. The only word that comes to my lips is 'wow'. I will post one last, quick entry tomorrow!

... playing mostly at the slots. The most popular game is definately Baccarat, but we don't know the rules and the stakes are quite high too (minimum bet is at least four euros). Every casino was packed with people, mostly tourists from Hong Kong and China. In some casinos they had free shows, like women in fancy dresses (and half naked) dancing, etc. At the MGM Grand we found some slots we liked and we were actually winning some money by the end of the night (although, by ...

(shanghai in all its neon glory.jpg) The air was noticibly better in Shanghai, but I suppose it doesn't take much to beat Beijing. But they still seem to have strict regulations (.jpg) about watering down dusty streets and cargo going along the main river. And like all Asian cities so far, there is no graffiti ...
