Yesterday we went to have a wander round the French Concession (posh bit) and to the Bazaar shopping market. There was also a famous tea shop that we saw which is above water and the bridge to get to it is really zig zagged as apparently evil spirits can't turn corners. Later on we went back to the Bund to see the Pudong skyscrapers all lit up again as I didn't have my camera last time. It was pleasant. Today we have checked out and are lazing around in the gard...

Hello from Shanghai! Not much to report from the last couple of days. Shanghai is pretty spectacular with the skyline by the riverside and our hostel is amazing! It's a shame we're only staying here for 3 nights. Today we went to the People's Square and Park, The Bund and Pudong. It was a lot of walking. We mainly entertained ourselves by taking pictures of each other with a skyscraper behind, making it look like we had hats on! The simple things... They do real...

Meat off the street is bad. My enemy food poisoning made a return today. I only had it a few weeks ago but at least I was at home in my own bed, not in a noisy room, with a toilet not that nearby which I have to share with strangers.

Ben seems fine and we ate the same last night so I'm ...

Today we managed to get up early and made our way to the terracotta warriors. We were naughty again and had KFC for breakfast but in our defence all the street stalls looked really dirty round there. And the noodle woman that I have had noodles from every single day since we've been here (they are so good!) wasn't by the hostel as we were out so early. Pit 1 where there are over 6,000 models was spectacular. It's amazing to see that they all had different faces a...

Well we managed to watch United and it was well worth it. We found the channel that had it on last time and could watch it live online on our phones. We slept this time and just set our alarms for kick off. What a game. V exciting and we played so well. Today we got up before 11 to say that we'd been up in the night. We did some washing (with a machine for once!) and planned to go up the city walls. We went up and you could hire a tandem so we did! It was lots o...
