China, One Month Later

It's not very easy to write an account of a trip that happened four weeks ago. So this will mostly just be a "hey guys, I finally edited photos from our weekend in Shanghai" post (here: http://nandkinkorea.shutterfly.com/1382)


We took a Friday afternoon off at the end of May and flew to Shanghai that night. We spent Saturday walking around the city, ate good food, and relaxed a bit. Our greatest accomplishment on Saturday was visiting a cricket and bird market, where thousands of massive "fighting crickets" are sold. Think cockfighting, with crickets. The roar of these crickets was unbelievable.


Our trip was supposed to have coincided with a visit by Kate's grandmother and uncle, but a last minute change in their travel plans thwarted that. So, it was just a weekend in China. And a very good one, on the whole. We flew back to Korea on Sunday, after taking the Maglev train from PuDong to the airport (350km/h!)
