Shanghai Jan 2007

Stayed at the Renaissance, usually the rooms are small, but they were sold out so I got a suite (sweet!). The room was very nice with a separately living room, bedroom, wet bar and two bathrooms.

I went dinner with Xia and MP at M on the Bund. The view is amazing at night with a table overlooking the river, the lights and Pudong. Surprisingly the bill was extreme, I guess I was expecting a lower bill, but it was huge. Ei Ei Ei.

The next day MP took me to the gem market to purchase pearls, and then took me to the viewing deck on the Jin Mao tower (tallest building in China and 5th tallest in the world. Took the Maglev train back to the airport at 431kph! Fast, but still missed my flight. Argh
