Popped upto shanghai

I popped up to shanghai to meet with a company about possibly doing some work with them, and they seem very open to it so i will hopefully move to shanghai and start work in an IT company there after the summer if I can, it seems a great opportunity and a really good company, I hope it works out!

De to this I had to go to shanghai a few times and going just for a meeting seemed a waste so I did some exploring at the same time, I found a new hotel with a chandelier in every room, no matter how small, at a reasonable 20gbppn, and it's near jingan temple, right in the middle of shanghai, very nice. I stayed a few times and had a good time, there are lots of bars and restaurants around there and good metro access and train station access, a great place!

I took the train from shanghai hongqiao station, a huge airport size train station that defys photography and really must be seen to be believed, it's huge! 

Luckily the new job leaves time to shoot out of china for a holiday, I was planning on Taiwan, or maybe Korea, but then I saw cheap flights to Japan and I have a few friends there now! 

First I taught an intensive 8 day kids class, every day 8am to 2pm, then on my visas last day fly to Okinawa for a few days, then fly to the mainland and sort my visa out for china, then fly back to start work, ideally with time to find a flat in shanghai somewhere in between!
