First Shanghai Pics!

So i have finally arrived. This place is unreal. I mean, KFC and Macdonalds both do deliveries here! But it's just like being on a different planet. The traffic here is crazy, people use the oncoming lanes, the break down lane as a 3rd lane. You see people just casually walking on the motorways, and another thing is that there isnt a fast lane. so there are just 3 lanes to drive on here.
The food is amazing here, 10 times better than what you eat in Europe, you can tell that its been made with oriental ingredients. And the reciepts here have scratch cards on which you can actually win back some money (about a fiver's worth, but still money).
I have been prepared to be dissapointed by the cloth

es shops over here though, as apparantly i am too big to fit any of the clothes.


Here are some pics:


Thought maybe James would be interested in these pictures. The plane i travelled in and Pudong Airport



A little bit of the journey to the office. Chinese road signs and the Bullet train.




















































Yeah Michael made sure i would be entertained as Chinese TV isn't too appealing to people who can't speak Chinese, so he put 400 DVDs for me to choose from in my room too, as you do....



I've been taking a lot of pictures, i'll add more very soon!
