Shanghai

Well I made it!  What a trip it was... WOW!  First off let me just say that 14 hours on a plane not all that fun, especially when a 400 lb man (I'm exaggerating more like 350lb man) gets plopped right next to you on the plane.  That mixed with the wonderful body odor = not a great flight. 

That being said, I am here and WOW is all I have to say.  The city of Shanghai is huge!!!  My hotel was moved to the Purple Mountain, which is closer to the office that the training is being held, and it is beautiful.  I made it through immigration ok, and found out that it is illegal outside of the US to talk on a cell phone once the plane has landed.  The drive from the airport to the hotel was in one word "interesting".  I am not sure if they have speed limits or laws, but wow it was worse than being in a cab in downtown NYC.  The buildings are huge, the area is phenominal.  I am at a loss for words. 

The hotel is beautiful and I am posting pics from my room.  I am heading out here to go and get some dinner as well as find the office for tomorrow.  I hear it is just around the corner, so I figure I'll check it out before I have to go there tomorrow.  More to come on my Shanghai adventures...
