leaving Shanghai

Leaving Shanghai today, quite relieved as although its been an easy transition from home the full on commercialism was something that we (adults) were trying to get away from. The tempatations to spend a lot of time and money on the 'western' luxuries (such as Starbucks) is very strong.

Finally adjusting to the time zone, woke up this morning and didn't feel like it was the middle of the night and was hungary for the first time for breakfast, and last night we walked a really long way and I felt energetic - hooray!

Met some friendly Koreans in the Youth Hostel and were able to give away one of our business cards and some little gifts, Mark is going to put a photo up of them in due course. We aren't able to see the weblog at all from here, so I don't know what it looks like now - hope it looks nice

Hi

It sounds like your ready to detox, both Lani and I wish you good luck. By looking at the photo's whilst it 's lovely to see you all, we can understand why the commercialism would be doing your heads in.

Looking forward to your next entry

Lani and sati xxxx
