At home. This is my first blog. Ever. Two days away from travelling to Shanghai. Now
I start thinking about the trip. Can I charge all my devices? Here is
the first difference, whereas in the western world you travel with
adapters, in China you find a harbour for every power plug. Very convenient.
My peer in Shanghai asks me "Where have you been travelling so far in Asia?" "Japan and India", I answer. "That's it?" A pause, accompagnied by a silent smile on the other end of the phone. Then I am assured that "This will be definetely a different experience then."
This is the first time that I start questioning whether I really need to carry along my running shoes. According to a (Disney!) Web page from March 12:
"The quality of air in Shanghai today will be "very close to 'slightly polluted,'" according to Shanghai Daily."
Well, I'll take them anyway. There will be an opportunity. I can't stop running for a week, the Hamburg Marathon comes up end of April.
glad to see you still have your priorities straight. there is no shame in combining running and scuba diving when in Shanghai. might i suggest that a bbq in the south is a fitting way to celebrate a successful trip to China followed by a successful marathon?
