sleepless in shanghai

We’re here. It’s official. The plane landed, we squeezed into a taxi, and arrived in our hotel in Pudong, Shanghai. I didn’t sleep at all last night, until finally, around 5am, I decided to pop two nightquills to chase away the nonstop jitteriness that china was giving me. Groggy awareness returned around  9am, and we found a way around the great firewall (otherwise I wouldn’t be posting this). The first full day in Shanghai is staring at me full in the face.

The rest of Hiroshima and Kyoto is coming up. Also a full account of crossing over to shanghai. Still can’t believe we made it…
