Shanghai (2/28 - 3/1): Overnight in Shanghai

The flight was delayed, but I still managed to arrive at a relatively decent time. The main problem was the line for the taxi. Granted it goes relatively fast, but it was REALLY long this time. I ended up waiting about 40 minutes for the taxi. I guess if you factor in the taxi waiting time, then it's almost the same as flying to Pudong airport. If I took the bus from Pudong for 20 rmb then it's actually cheaper from Pudong. Anyway, I had a list of things I wanted to do before I left the next day so I had the taxi driver take me to the HongMei Lu shopping place (he wasn't too thrilled since I guess he waited 2 hours to pick up his fare -- but then I waited almost an hour to get the taxi so I could have complained as well ... ) where I picked up a new laptop bag or two and then grabbed another cab back home. I was hoping to get my hair cut but the person I usually see wasn't working so I opted out. I went home and started a bit of packing, but decided to go get some DVDs and food. But whoops! I had locked myself out of my apartment. I asked Zhu Wen Jun to come help me out which she was nice enough to do. When I got back inside she watched "The Protege", Dan's new movie, which I caught glances of from the desk where I was working. After that she went to sleep and I did some more packing. Zhu Wen Jun and my neighbor Sherry In the morning I did even more packing and then was picked up by the taxi around 10:30 for my flight out of PuDong. It was actually a great flight. Customs was super quick with no lines at all, and my flight had a total of 19 people on it. I slept most of the flight, but it was neat having it so empty. I got back to Hong Kong without too much trouble, but again I'll keep the next location for another entry ...
