After being slept so beautifully in my bed in train journey for 13 hours from Beijing to Shanghai, I woke up as we arrived Shanghai, we noticed from our window that Shanghai certainly have lots of skyscrapers of hotels, flats, apartment and offices etc. As we agreed to meet Neil Crofts and his deaf chinese friend, as you can see picture above. Seriously they were so lovely and kind as they sort out the ticket from Shanghai to Hong Kong and bought us all a drink and refused us to pay! We then went to Lee Mau fast Chinese food, again they bought the dinner for us and refused us to pay back! Bless them! Then it time for us to go our way, as we greeted each other I felt bad as they are struggling with money and yet they spoilt us. Anyway, we decided to use taxi to our hostel at Central International Youth Hostel, Shanghai. But unfortunately the taxi took us to the wrong place due to communication barrier! We had to walk all the way to the right hostel and we was amazed to see a very clean hostel, the people was very friendly and people could speak English, thankfully! We decided to chill in bar area all night after first day, of course we deserve some shanghaian beer! :) :)

Judy Hi Ashley, From Shanghai to Beijing the deaf community rules!!! Your friends seem really nice and hospitable. What a lovely welcome to China. What a wonderful experience.
