Day 2: Saturday in Shanghai

Arrived Shanghai Pudong airport (PGV) at 15:25.

I prepared the Gevey card on my iPhone 4 on the flight so followed the instruction right after landed.  It worked!  Ok, only for the phone part.  The internet part was not working.  Had to go to a store tomorrow. 

With the phone, I called GD.  Bad news, he thought I’d be in Shanghai till Monday and he’s still in Hangzhou.  The problem was I wanted to leave some stuff there for him.  Okay, let’s try the hotel first.

Instead of GD, I asked Nancy out for dinner.  She happened to in Shanghai.  Of course she’s disappointed V can’t make it.  They can catch up in DC later, I assume.

The hotel is really small!  In terms of small elevators, it sure beats the Tourism hotel in Paris. Tripadvisor’s reviewers weren’t kidding about the small elevators.  The elevator door was not as wide as my shoulder. 

After a quick dinner with Nancy and asked her to hold on to my passport for next week, I made a number of calls to let people know my new number as well as arrange Xi’An’s trip. Finally, my flight will be changed to Sunday.
