Woah!

step off a plane from little ole Austalia into china...its the biggest blow out!!!i just wanted to stand on the street(or sit like the cute litlle old couples)and take it all in.watch the bikes and the mopeds and taxis and old blue trucks drive by.
see the washing hang from the tress on the side of the road in one of biggest cities in the world...woman washing their clothes on the street,actualt i was dumbfounded on taxi trip to our hotel first night....traffic is crazy...just drive where you like...ignore red ligths...dodge the pedestrian.....no seat belts for anyone let alone a baby car seat...which we knew but crazy to experience
wow
so much to tell
i love it
i love the food...which surpreised me...so much flavour..differnet veges sauces and i reckon chopsticks are the way to go....
the SHOPPING and after the first little shop at the market in shanghai nearly made me cry coz they so tough on the bargaining..tony s a pro and is telling me "its too much bron" and im like ""just give them the money .....i can now work the calculator with the best of them and when they say...whast your best price beautiful lady...or i give you nice price because you have beautiful baby...im standing firm....i want to bring you all here...lets have a girls shopping trip huh...

had a foot and shoulder massage in shanghai...need more...one hour for about $7
watched awewsom shows at restaurants..a magic mask guy and mongolian dancing dinner and amazing show for about $15..thats with about 4 or 5 dishes
so funny on our first nigth they bought out everyhting we pointed at on the menu(they have pictures of the dishes) even though we were just looking...but we had no idea as we cant communicate that well...well me not at all but i have been using my little book now which helps..but still it was very cheap
