It's Saturday Afternoon in Shanghai

We made it!

A Sign welcoming us to Shanghai, we actually had to look for one, Lauren thought maybe it wasn't a very friendly country, but found it near customs, Shanghai: Day 1

A 15 hour flight from LAX to Hong Kong, arrived late, rushed to transfer to our Shanghai flight, crazy traffic coming from the airport, but we made it!

Just took a shower for the first time in what seems like forever, and am so happy to feel clean! A little recap of the adventures since the previous post. We boarded, late, we took off, late, we were served dinner at 1:45am, which was odd, but welcomed since I was sure we'd be hungry in the middle of the night. Just a little meal of airplane food, completely unmemorable, all things considered, but we ate, then slept. I think I got a fairly solid 4 hours in, which was pretty incredible for me. I watched several movies, The Blind Side, Up in the Air, An Education. A few episodes from this season of Big Bang Theory, played with the trivia and tetris games. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Got in a bit more sleep before "breakfast" was served. Fruit, yogurt, and a ham & egg croissant. Pretty plain, as one would expect from airplane food.

We arrived to Hong Kong late and had to make a pretty lengthy transfer to our next plane. We walked up while the signs were flashing "final call" but made it. It was an easy flight about an hour and a half, but we got a 2nd breakfast... I went with the "pork and rice roll" option over the omelette, since I had actually eaten breakfast foods, may as well have lunch, albeit at 9:45am. It was actually quite good, and I was introduced to a new white fruit with black specks, that look like small black sesame seeds. It was my intention to google it, but haven't had a chance... anyone know? Here's a photo (I won't bore you all too much with food photos, but if you care, the link to the album is below in the caption):

What is this Fruit? Airplane Food

Customs was easy, we found our car, we hit some traffic, but grabbed a bit of a nap along the way, and have now connected to the wireless & showered up in time for a walk before dinner. More to come later on... if I can stay awake after dinner to write more.
