Hi again!

We have spent 5 days in shanghai, wich is a bit larger than Beijing, but after my taste much better!
Among the things Shanghai can offer is fantastic arcitecture, good food and an overall good atmosphere.
The Mingtown Hiker Youth Hostel where we are staying is very relaxing, it is very easy to get to know new people.
We got to know an American and a Brazilian wich we have spent most of our days with. The American could speak Mandarin wich was very handy for us! Even though Shanghai is a bit more western and more speak english, it was far from everybody we could communicate with, if it werent for our "translator".
The hostel is located close to the Nanjing road (the main shopping street) and the Bund wich has some amazing Skyskrapers!


Tomorrow we're going to a "small" town called Nanning wich is located near the vietnamese border. Our original plan was to keep taking train down towards Hong Kong and Gangchou. But there was some trouble with visa out of Hong Kong and there was no practical way of traveling by train that way. So we bought some cheap airlinetickets for www.elong.com . I would recomend that site for those of you traveling in China and other places in Asia.
