I’ve got a few brief moments online in the hotel (it’s fairly expensive here, and I haveb’t had chance to get to a cheap webcafe). It’s amazing being here in China, and being in such a vast city. The hotel we’re staying in is literally just off from the end of the Bund, and there are amazing views from the balcony on one of the top floors of Shanghai – I’ve taken several photos!
It’s been hectic, visiting the Jade Buddha temple, the house where the Chinese Communist Party was founded, Yu Gardens, and lots of other places. Lots of strange sights and tastes – eating is quite an adventure!
Thinking of my friends and family at home… I hope you’re all well. We’re off to Beijing tomorrow, so it’s all very busy!
