Ziyun Hotel Shanghai

Well, it has been a great semester. Those of you that will be leaving soon, I am sad to see you go, we had some good times. From Beijing to Xi'an it was a good run. Be sure to keep in contact through FaceBook, email, or whatever else and I wish you all a safe return. Maybe we will meet up again someday, but if not, it was good to know you, and have fun ...

... into Shanghai: A new personal best! The hostel is amazing: It is clean and friendly with a pool table and a bar etc.

We have found Shanghai to be a lot more chilled out than both Beijing and Tai'an, which has been a surprise. There are a lot more foreigners here which has taken some getting used too... we find we're staring at them like the Chinese stared at us in the other places!!! Haha. We finally ...

... there as well. Also got to spend time with one of my favorite bosses/teachers...Michael Cherubin. Axel also joined us there a day before flying to Beijing. The guys left a day ahead of me because I had to stay and make sure some finishes were up to standard. On to Beijing.

... diagonally across the river. We made our way back to the riverfront eventually and waded through the mass of people trying to sell you 'Gucci' bags, 'Rolex' watches and other amazingly cheap brand products!!! Walking back towards the station looking for a restaurant we had a bit of a scary experience. Fortunately Greg was alert and realised that we were being followed by a group of 3 guys. Two were on our right side and a third was very close behind ...

... This trip seems to be going by so slowly! It feels like we've already been here for so long! But again, we are learning more about our travel styles -neither of us care much for the big cities - they are the same everywhere. I personally am scaling down what I bring from now on - I have always travelled very happily with my 35L pack, and am currently using a 50L pack - way too big for my liking... so I am going to go back to my 35L... there is something to say about ...
