This is one busy city, Shanghai! Arrived by really nice train into the most modern station I have ever seen. Thing looked like a bloody airport. No litter, lots of marble and glass! Then had to spend 3 hours lugging our bags round to try and get onwards sleeper tickets to X'ian as the train is 24 hours!! No luck on that front and not much on the accomondation front where we wanted to stay. So ended up in a hostel on the other side of town but really nice place with free internet and we are all sharing one big room :)) Bit like being back with the weekend warriors!

Boy in the hostel is going to try and get us some tickets and we are off for some sight seeing. The buildings in this city put Hong Kong to shame! One looks like a spaceship.

Anyway more later and will try and upload some more photos of the tiger temple and China.
