*halleluia!!*
thank the good Lord i finally have access to internet in my room! i have been trying for the last two days, but apparently they have a problem with their hub, so no one had internet for days. i am now using my phone line.. hahaa how old skool!! oh well, it works...

so, a quick update on shanghai:
first, the hotel:
room - nice
roommate - pissed off that she didn't get own room, and has chosen to sleep elsewhere...
tv - mandarin only
staff - mandarin only :(
pool - non-existent
gym - consists of empty hotel room fitted with 2 cheap exercise bikes
business center - closed for holidays
buffet breakfast - only edible thing is the omelets

tbc...
