Gosh – maybe I would have enjoyed Shanghai much better if I stayed in such a swanky hotel… 😛 I guess the fact that it was snowing like nobody’s business and too cold to go outside at all didn’t help. Still, despite all that, I still enjoyed my trip to Shanghai earlier this year 🙂 You should definitely go to Yuyuan if you have time, apart from being such a gorgeous place with really nice colonial style architecture and quaint little shops, there’s also a really delicious xiao long bao place, I have never tasted xiao long bao that good before in my life!! 🙂 (And I remember you like xiao long bao!)
You’ll have to let us know if you decide to stay… soon! 🙂
Can you speak Mandarin at all?
Ohh I heard it doesn’t snow often, I wish it did, I’d love that! We went to Yuyuan today… so much fun, and yes, we had the Xiao long bao there, hehehe
I can speak mandarin but its’ so rusty, but I can understand some!

Oh wow, your hotel is awesome!
I went to Shanghai a few years back and yes, it was a vibrant city! And I’ve never seen so many bicycles on the streets in my whole entire life! LOL. I didn’t enjoy the polluted air though 🙁
yeah so many bicycles LOL. I haven’t really noticed the polluted air though.. it seems about the same as Sydney to me, except it was pretty foggy yesterday/today ‘cos of all the rain 🙁
looks like plenty of fun and luxury too 🙂
never wanted to go shanghai. but maybe after this… even the mega shopping scene.. 🙂
I can’t believe we’d never been to Shanghai before… we totally missed out!!

Verrrry luxurious!!! I would like to go to Shanghai one day, mostly for the food. 🙂
Hahah so true, it’s worth a trip to check out the food!
What a swish hotel!
Yeah, we were pleasantly surprised, hehehe

ooo i hope you have heaps of fun there! I had heaps of fun while we were in Shanghai, they have nice durians! 🙂
Eeeek I don’t like durians, but I love the Chinese food here!
What a swish hotel!
Yeah, we were pleasantly surprised, hehehe
I love Shanghai! I’m not sure if you’re a nightclub sort of girl, but if you get the chance, check out Dragon Club in the old French Concession – it’s hidden away in an old house and is not apparent from the outside. I think it may be members only but I’m sure you’ll charm your way in quite easily! Go around 3am for the best experience…it’s more of an after-hours club. Think it stays open till about 9 or 10am.
Ahhh very good to know! we probably can’t go this trip ‘cos it’s too packed, but I’m def keeping that one in mind 😉
i love Shanghai! I was there for a month last year and I’ve always said it is a city I could work and live in. I love how it has the classic old parts but also the new shiny modern areas. You should see Pudong, if you haven’t already – the streets there are wider and cleaner. Have fun exploring and all the best!! =)
You said it! The vibrancy is just amazing.. and yeah, Pudong is brilliant, very impressive how they built it all up in just 18 years :-O
Lovely hotel with awesome views! And the L’Occitane products! Can’t beat that! *^^*
i’ve been sneakily collecting em every day.. bwhahahah!
wow the hotel and the view are breathtaking!
hehe i love their attention to detail with the comb and toothbrush – usually i forget my toothbrush and have to go buy a new one 🙁
Anything different at Maccas?? I’ve only been to the ones in Australia – not even Japan
The Maccas is similar but they have some asian burgers I think.. was in Chinese so we couldn’t tell 🙁 The fries aren’t as good as the Aussie fries though!
ooo i hope you have heaps of fun there! I had heaps of fun while we were in Shanghai, they have nice durians! 🙂
Eeeek I don’t like durians, but I love the Chinese food here!
all expense paid!!! @_@ so exciting!
to consider moving to Shanghai willing, you are brave!
have a couple of friends living in Shanghai. it will be an adventure!
have fun!
Yeah I think it will be such an experience, hehe… this is a great trip to check it all out and see!
Glad you’re loving it so far Bev – looking forward to seeing you soon when you come home!
I think you’d like it too.. today we found the oldest/most famous vegetarian restaurant 😉
Ohhh sounds good! Nice food?
Ohhh.. I’ve been in Shanghai 3 years ago, its absolutely European city and HK also! Very Nice in hi-tech style I think.. MC Donalds we even drank beer ;)) here in Russia it is forbidden!
Yes very true! It’s actually less Asian than we’d expected.. lots of Mcdonalds, Starbucks, etc 😉
Whoa, it looks awesome, love!!!! Looking forward to seeing what you ate once you got more adventurous!
Heheh food pics are fast coming up!!
Nice, I didn’t know your trip was all expenses paid. You should wait to go home before you blog about your trip b/c $30/day for internet is insane (even though it is an essential)
Yeah it def is since the company is sending us up. I do need the internet for work, eBay’s not paying $30/day just for me to blog 😉

I’m so impressed with it.. HR at eBay really know their stuff!
This is amazing!!! I love Shanghai. It does remind me of Singapore, where people are out past 8 pm (gasp!) You must eat eat eat and shop!
True, it’s like a crazier, bigger version of SG! Sooo fun 😛
gosh the hotel is gorgeous!!! I want a bedroom/bathroom just like that!
TOTALLY want our bathroom to have that rainshower now… 😉

I miss vibrant city life we have in Asia..I miss HK!!!!
How long are you going to stay in Shanghai for? I have never been to Shanghai before. Would love to go there one day! 🙂
HK is awesome! Shanghai was surprisingly similar.. will only be here ’til Sun though 🙁
