Too bad I can't upload anything to Youtube from here. I guess that will have to wait.
So today was our first "real" day in Shanghai. We got up quite early, and went to look for train tickets to Wuhan. Our original plan was to try and get there by the end of today. But as it turned out, there were none available until tomorrow afternoon, so we have the whole day to spend here instead. So far we have done a lot of walking and sightseeing, the first results of which are shown below (sans the blisters). Later tonight, we'll have our first encounter with the Chinese nightlife. All I can say for that, is that I am very very curious :) Our hotel is on Nanjing Road.. Lots of shops, people and harassment by salespeople ! Yay Skyline of Shanghai's most modern center. We took the trippiest tunnel train ride ever to get there. Too bad I can't upload anything to Youtube from here. I guess that will have to wait. Yuyuan Gardens, where we enjoyed some traditional tea and dumplings. There is a miniature amusement park near our hotel, which is the building with the tower clock right in the middle.

Toen we de foto namen was het ook nog maar 11 uur 's ochtends! Het is hier echt wel druk overdag's en 's avonds.. Ik denk dat het vandaag rond een graad of 27 was. Zeker niet verkeerd!! Morgen gaan we naar Wuhan, dan wordt het weer tijd voor nieuwe avonturen en foto's :)
