Shanghai and Home

So we arrived in Shanghai, and were given a room on the 25th floor by the great Jono Wang. He took care of us wonderfully in Shanghai, making sure we had everything we desired.

Shanghai is not much of a city for tourist attractions. We went up to the 87th floor of the Grand Hyatt for Coffee, which was nice, and walked along The BUND and Nanjing road, which pretty much did it for the tourist bit. The highlight of shanghai is the fake stuff market. There is fake anything there.

Clothes, Watches, Sunnies, pretty much every designer label was faked there. I bought several items, invluding my omega speedmaster watch, which we had to go back and return cos it didnt show the correct time, and the actually exchagned it for another without a single word, and even apologised profusely!

Bought a stack of DVDs and headed home.

Sydney is Sydney. I walked around the CBD today, and noticed several new buildings have gone up, it seems like i have been away for so long, maccas has finished renovating and there are thigns i dont recognise.

Observations:

Sydney has the most number of asians out of any non asian country in the world.
Sydney is quite busy in the day, and not with that many tourists... i think. Tourists blend in a lot easier here, there isnt much diff between a FOB and a tourist.

My body is sore all over from ball. Knee hurts. Shoulder hurts.

Getting old.
