Shanghai for errands

Welcome to Shanghai - Shanghai Train Station

After the fun of the carnival it was off to Shanghai to finally farewell Kiki (any opportunity to procrastinate goodbyes), and do a few errands.

Building next to our hostel - housing in Shanghai!

A lot of our fellow Wuxites were in Shanghai for the weekend so we met up with them for a lovely dinner at a restaurant run by a friends NZ friend. It was lovely to eat beautiful moist duck, salmon and tuna tartare and chocolate souffle. YUMMY! Kiki left early morning for her flight home - she went with a very heavy frown - she did not want to leave China.

I had to pick up a package from NZ that Mum and Dad sent over with our neighbour, Roger from the 4 Seasons and I was so excited to find a few bottles of NZ wine - YAY!


Unfortunately the Chinese government cancelled the Oasis concert due to the fact that Noel had played in a free Tibet concert in 1997. I had to refund 8 tickets, which they were more than happy to do and then it was off for a lovely lunch at Element Fresh, great fresh food and yummy smoothies.
Mango Madness Smoothie!

City Shop proved fantastic for western treats and then it was off on an early afternoon train home for a relaxing afternoon doing housework - not quite that relaxing!

Mmmmmmmm.....souffle!



Have great week everyone!
