Here I am counting last hours until the flight from Shanghai city to Vilnius. Just 16 hours left!
I have barely 200 RMB in my wallet. I hope that will be enough for my entertainment today, i.e. for some drinks.
Not sure if I will have to take a taxi to the hostel. I will get back 100 RMB from hostel when checking out. So to get to airport and for breakfast that should suffice.
In the morning I had dumplings again for 5 RMB. I had to wait until the rain stops to go to the famous skyscraper, but until I got there it got cloudy, so I even didn’t go to the top – 88 floor.
The entrance was 50 RMB, so I decided not to go. Lunch was in Burger King, I have paid 20 RMB for the meal. It was quite delicious. Got back to the hostel and had a nap and I was hungry again. So I went to the streets to look for the cheap food. I could find anything and I was craving for dumplings again. To buy a whole chicken was too much, since I have no fridge and leaving tomorrow. So I went to the bakery and bought some buns. I have paid 15 RMB and ate them slowly while walking back to hostel. It was very nice!
In the evening I am meeting Daniel and Inger and we will go out together.
I took some Coldrex and anti-inflammatory pills. The head is alright, but I can feel it is some kind of virus. Some strange feeling in the heart area. Shit! I hope I won’t have fever tomorrow or I am stuck in here in the quarantine!
I will tell you more about this city when I come back. It is incredible how it can change in 26 days! Completely! All was so well organised in just few month until World Expo 2010! That’s one of the things that truly amazed me! Seeing a policeman on every crossroad to regulate the traffic and drivers to respect the red light, or people standing in a perfect line on the escalators in metro and a person in the bottom looking after that! Order at scale in very short timeline!
I am already in Pudong International Airport airport. The security somehow let me in, though I was very tipsy. I was barely standing on my feet. They are probably going to measure the temperature again in the air plane. I haven’t slept all night and I am starting to get a hangover now.
I took Maglev, the fast train, to the airport. It is floating on the magnets and was going so fast. It reached 301km/h speed!
