I have arrived in Shanghai!
My first night was spent at the Central Hotel in Jiu Jang Road, Shanghai, before I moved to the Hanting Hotel in Song Hua Jiang Road in the Hong Kou district.
There are a LOT of people here and the atmosphere is steamy. Still everything seems to work.
My first day was spent checking out the shops and parks near the hotel. Unfortunately there were no real bargains. I am told that electrical goods are not especially cheap here. There goes the idea of picking up a computer cheaply.
I met up with the PESI group after I moved to the Hanting Hotel, and we have all spent the past few days getting acquainted and orienting ourselves to the city and the Fudan University.
We have been eating WAY, WAY TOO MUCH, so I will come back bigger and better than ever if this keeps up.
Language classes start tomorrow and the other economics and politics classes next week. There is plenty of reading to be done, so we will see if we can keep on top of it all.
More updates soon!
Sean
