What a trip, i cant beleive how fast this tour has gone, and weve covered sooooo much damn ground. This morning we arrive in shanghai, i really want to get teh new maglev train to the airport, but well see how that goes, considering mikes directions are a little on the weak side, scratch that, they are appaling, often hes pointing left and saying right, so you try and clarify where it is you are going and hell say something completely different like keep going straight its upstairs. beewildered and confused you set out knowing that you have the hotel card so the taxi can return you to whence you came. anyway hopefully at the stopover in hong kong ill be able to get my carl jung book. but who knows??? South africa here i come I did managr to catch the maglev train, but not quite the way i had wanted. Instead of the taxi dropping me at the station in the city and then catching the train to the airport, he decided to drive as fast as the maglev and take me to the aiport… obviously Mike had told him the wrong thing so i had to get a return ticket and do a round trip from the airport. Its pretty awesome, it does 33km in less than 8 minutes, topping out at 431kmph. Anyway i almost missed my plane because of it, useless taxi driver and he was pulled over by the police for speeding on the way there. Once i was in my seat on a south africa airlines flight (a brand new plane) i was ready to catch some zzzzs and watch some new movies. Bye bye china…
