Got the flight ok to shanghai, met a crazy guy from Algeria who said if I was ever in the area I wa welcome and a potential hanghai guide! Not bad, I got very sick of the flight by the end of 26 hours though and was very uncomfortable!!

I then splashed out on the maglev train at 430kmph to zoom half way to my safely pre booked hotel, then I changed onto the mtero I could have gotten from the start to finish the trip!

Got to hotel and after waiting begind 30bus tourists for half an hour I managed to get to the desk only to be told my reservation didn't exist! and they were full!
The kind man called another hostel and reserved the last bed there before it went.
A quick dash across town secured that room!

I then met a nce guy in te lobbey and we went for dinner and a beer in a very Chinese choose your own place for a shocking £1!

Could only get one night here so now it's 9pm and I'm trying to fin a bed for tomorrow so o can visit the expo!!
