First Crush ...First Abroad Trip ... always sweetest

Shanghai .... An exciting city .. all tall buildings...average building height is extremely large.

Because of the Olympics season, a thourough checking was done in the Airport. They didnt allow us to take some of the food items which we brought from india ...like Dal ..etc.

My Chinese colleague "Bill Luo Ming" was waiting for us at the airport. He took us to the Fastest Magnetic train (reportedly at that time...) which travels upto 430 kmph. we reached a staion called "Longyang Road".

From there, we took a taxi to the hotel where I am going to stay. Taxi driver doesnt know even "Ok", "Yes" or "No" words in english. (But most of the young people like Students,employees can understand English. but not everyone even among them ..)

We reached the hotel "Pent OX Metropoliton"...has 33 floors.It is in in Pudong district of Shanghai.

Nice view from my hotel room window ...I can see the Huangpu river, which divides Shanghai into two parts. Old Shanghai and New Shanghai.
