Hi folks...... Shanghai, what a fab place. Arrived yesterday from Jakarta after a long day travelling. Left at around 6am and having stopped off at Hong Kong to change planes arrived at around 8pm at the hotel. It is rather a nice hotel (The Ritz Carlton) and sits in a very plush, expensive part of the City.
Had the day off today and went off to find some culture. Boy did we find it. We went to a temple called the City of God Temple, a doaist (think that is how it's spelt) temple from the Ming dynasty of around 1550. It was a real treat for all the senses, smells, sights and sounds.... amazing. I found a young monk playing the Chinese violin (about the same size roughly as ours but played on the knee like a 'Cello), got chatting and ended up having a go in this major temple... awesome. He also had a violin which he asked me to play, I duly obliged and ended up attracting a small crowd...... gave him a quick little lesson and then played a cheeky little duo together..... brilliant. Some really cool pictures enjoy. Lots of love Sx (Dx).
