Unfortunately since I was not able to change the port of return, I could not fly directly back from Shanghai and I had to buy another ticket to Beijing. The other dumb thing is that the flight between Beijing and Shanghai can be unpredictable in terms of being on time. The last time I was here, I got delayed by 6-7 hours on a return flight from Shanghai to Beijing. Since my flight was at noon, I didn't want to chance it I decided to stay an extra night.

I spent the evening wandering the Wangfujing and the Sanlitun area. It was nice to be back on my own again. The only thing that can be annoying are the pushy madames or pimps who try to force you to hang out with their "full-service" girls. It really is annoying because they follow you from street to street even when you tell them to go away. I didn't let them screw my night up and I spent my evening in a bar on Sanlitun watching a live band play. Hey if the pimps and madames wanted to wait outside, be my guest!
