back in shanghai

We now drive 3 hours to get to shanghai.
We are taken to our restaurant and met by liam. Handsome, young tour guide who we had met one other time.
He is already in our bad books for the dinner debacle. Eddie is giving him the cold shoulder and I am too tired to care, knowing he will sort it out in mandarin.
Lunch good, shanghai heat like a sauna.
We are dropped off at the bund area, like wall street, big financial area.
Hoardes of people .
Walked over to nanjing road, west side omega, bloor street however interspersed are some cheaper places.
East side chinese side, haggle, bargain walk away , they chase you lowering the price as you walk away.
We then got stuck in a typical traffic jam lasting hours and onto dinner.
Good dinner nothing strange, but too much heat, not hydrated only wanted sleep.
Phoned doug to organize time to see him and by now we needed another suitcase.
Showered, bed. Doug said he would be there at the hotel 7am
