Be warned in China all airports don't allow lighters to be carried into aircraft so please leave your Duponts at home.


When you arrive at your destination airport look out for a tray of free lighters that passengers of that airport had discarded.

Arrived in shanghai Hongqiao went straight to Jiangying in Jiangsu for meeting on the way saw these old men painting all the trees 1.2m high in preparation for winter. This is to prevent insects attack on the plant in winter

Took a quick morning walk to The Bund

It's crowded






It's autumn and a little cold so it's foggy and looks hazy

Then it's a quick walk to hotel and bugger off to the airport


On the road again

Is this Jia Jia Tang Bao(Huanghe Road)? Looks like it but I don't remember anyone wear uniforn. I queue up for 1 hour the last time I went there. The best Xiao long bao, better than the Taiwanese chain, and cheap too but I don't think I will ever do it again.

They confiscated my power bank ...because it didn't have any label on it. When you bring a power bank over, make sure that it has all the labels.

Froggy, there is a Shanghainese restaurant - home cooking - that is only open for lunch. Very popular with HK movie stars. Do you know the name and location?

No idea which you talking about but there are actually quite a few I'd visited setting literally in a modern house as in like terrace house but has a few tables inside and they don't cater for really big group. One I really like is in Hongqiao area opposite a large park forgot the name of the restaurant.
