Hi everyone,
We have arrived in Shanghai and are enjoying getting to know this humongous city of about 25 million people. That's a lot considering that Utah boasts a population of about 1 and 3/4 million. We will try to find internet cafes along the way as we tour China. This time we are staying the the Youth Hostel quite cheaply and computers are available for one yuan ($.14 cents) for every 15 minutes. Yes, the computers are coin operated.
Last night we hopped a bus (# 1) in front of the Hostel and rode it for an hour out and back to see the city. Here the buses cost double that of Jinan, 2 yuan (.28 cents). This constitutes our Shanghai initial orientation so that we know one bus and where it goes and what to see along the way for tomorrow and simply a cheap tour of Shanghai.
We slept well with our air mattresses we brought contemplating the customary hard beds all over China. It was very comfortable with a nightly cost of our suite of about $28.
Now we are looking for tours to leave from here.
Tomorrow, we expect to hook up with the LDS members at their branch here.
