My Love and H@te Affairs In Shanghai -Day 1

Dear all, i am back from China! Yes , came back on Sunday morning.
Why the topic for this post? I have loads of stories to tell about my china trip!

Okay first story:
When we arrived in the airport, we got a call from my brother. He flew from Uk to join us in China and he is waiting at the hotel that we were supposed to be staying that night. The address of the hotel was given by the Malaysia tour agent. No sight of China tour guide yet at this point of time. We impatiently waited for around 20mins only the china tour guide came. What is this? Late to pick up your customer on the first day?! Bad impression of this tour guide. Then we asked him to clarify which hotel exactly are we staying tonight. He told us its another hotel! Which means my brother is now waiting at the wrong hotel! This Malaysia tour agent apparently gave the wrong information! Everyone was getting very frustrated as we have to meet my brother somehow or rather rite....In the end my brother has to make his way to the restaurant we had dinner to meet up with us. Phew...luckily taxi wasn't too expensive in Shanghai. The starting bid is RMB10 for first 3km.

took this bullet-like train to the town centre..this train is super duper fast as the fastest speed is around 400km/hr!
