So after just a few tiny complications, we have made it to Shanghai.I am glad to find I can still post to my blog and to Flickr… just can’t see what exactly I am posting, so please let me know if the photos aren’t showing up or if I have completely mislabelled them all.

It turned out that the airline staff today weren’t as lenient on us and our massive amounts of luggage as check in staff usually are, and we paid an extra $200 for our excess baggage. I can’t complain, as I hate to think how much we have got away with in the past.

We have enjoyed a couple of days of weather in the low 20s in Tokyo, and had both subconsciously begun to think that summer was ending. We were horribly reminded that this isn’t so when we arrived to a sauna at Shanghai airport and a forecast of 38 tomorrow. Oh dear.

Patrick was a little surprised to find that he is seeing China through Australian eyes now. He looked at me sideways when our taxi stopped next to a group of people standing about in their underpants to see if I had spotted them.

“Now I can see that is a bit weird.” He said.

He also was a little concerned when we went downstairs to eat and he watched his meal being prepared, not quite to the standards of hygiene he has become used to.

I think he will get used to it soon.
