So, it turns out that you can't write a blog from China. It simply doesn't let you. And I don't even know whether this "email-to-blog" system will work.
Thankfully though, our final day in Hong Kong didn't work out as per my earlier post. The weather was just perfect, and we went to Stanley market (photos are on Flickr) and found that whole area to be really interesting. Then, as predicted, we hardly slept at all the whole night and had much difficulty getting up at the crack of dawn to go to the airport.
Shanghai, as it turns out, is amazing - a real city of contrasts. The traffic, congestion and pollution are incredible and are worse than anywhere that I've seen. On the other hand, it's beautiful in places and the hotel is by far the nicest either of us have ever stayed in. The room, the food and the view down the river are all just amazing.
Obviously we've already made the room ridiculously untidy. We need those fairies that don't come and clean and tidy the flat to come and visit here, too.
