The Shanghai Museum is an impressive structure Smile

Thanks for the info on Shanghai.
Yeah .. great place, but don't forget your gas mask. Gee whizz... the pollution!!

My wife was in shock as every evening when we got back to our hotel room, there was a call soon after we entered asking me if I wanted some company!! The only time I was alone (when I went to pick up some trousers from a tailor - superb) I was accosted about 14 times in 15 minutes asking if I wanted some...

Otherwise, some interesting sights and food, and yeah...shows. Saw some fabulous gymnasts...stuff like that. But don't go to the Peace Hotel if someone recommends the jazz band there. Bloody awful, and they had the gall to be selling their CD's.
