The Dread Pirate Roberts Welcomes You To Shanghai How often can you say that you are living in a pirate ship? Not often, so when you are you have to make the most of it and living in my hostel in Shanghai was like having "International Talk Like a Pirate Day" every day of the year.

Finished uni? Too lazy to get a job? Got a passion to see the world? Why not run away and try to cross the world from Bangkok to London without flying!

We rode the Maglev to and from the airport just to say that we'd travelled at 431kph. It was fun, and only took eight minutes.

See what happens when you let the "Lee men loose" They get into all sorts of situations. I think it really did a lot for some egos. Matthew also forgot to tell you all about the photo with the two chinese (young) girls hanging off dad's arm. The tea gardens were the highlight for me in Shanghai. The shopping was also o.k. But I was disappointed with it's dirtiness unlike the rest of China.

Magical Shanghai
Shanghai was great, no egos needed rubbing. The gardens are fantastic but The Bund was my highlight. During the day it is full of life, but at night it really comes into its own. It fills so much, teaming with locals and visitors, the lights are so close and so much brighter than the photos show. It is a magical precinct.
