Leaving Shanghai, at last.

I'm finally leaving Shanghai on Thursday. Sad but true. Me and my roommate will be staying for a couple of days and then head straight to Sydne on the 15th, as planned.

Tried to find cheap air tickets to HK but since the travel business is offering peak season tickets for 1400sek one way, I tried other solutions.
Yesterday, in the unbearable warmth of the Shanghai heat of 30°C and a humidity somewhere around 80%, we forced ourselves to the old Shanghai Railway station and got myself a ticket. The only dates they offered were 10th and 14th and it takes 20 hrs to get to HK by train so we had no choice.
There are different prices for different beds, lower beds are the most expensive but also most comfy; believe me, the stairs up to the upper bed Ain't that fun! We got the upper beds anyway since we bought the last tickets and couldn't afford to be picky. They charged us 402rmb for those who are curious. The middle and uper beds are slightly more expensive.

Feels kind of weird to leave Shanghai, seems like I've been done with this city long time ago but there're still things that are holding me back, guess I'll look back and miss those certain parts..

No I'm busy with packing and saying goodbye to friends, most of them are leaving during summer anyway but it doesn't make it easier saying goodbye.

We'll rock our last night at the posh Shanghai club Lounge 18 (Located on well known Bund 18) and then look forward to 20hrs of pleasure on train..

I'll keep you posted.

Trist att du inte kom hem mellan, men vi ses väl när vägarna tillåter.

Jag skickade ett litet paket ett tag sedan, men vet inte om det hinner fram innan du försvinner till Australien. Men det är lite sak samma ändå, skickade inget stort pga osäkerheten. Håll ändå tummarna? :)
