Day 40 - Shanghai

31.08.09

Porridge breakfast as I have done nearly every day I have been in China and it's the best way to start the day, a bit of honey, some chopped banana and it's a healthy and nutritious meal. We get in around 2 hours late, which isn't too bad and a short jaunt on the Shanghai Metro sees me at the hostel in no time and just in time to meet up with Juste for breakfast. It's a random experience meeting someone from St Andrews in a city on the other side of the world, but feels fantastic. We go for breakfast at a vegetarian restaurant as Juste is Vegan and it turns out to be a nice and fresh affair, although a fruit salad with mayonnaise and 'hundreds and thousands' sprinkled on it is a new concept. We have a walk around Shanghai and it's different areas and then I give Sam a call who has been working in Shanghai for the past year since he graduated. A few hours later and we are sitting in Captains Bar overlooking the Bund and the Shanghai skyline drinking Tsing Tao beer. Absolutely fantastically marvelous.
