(From our trip in April 2018)

It’s finally time to leave our little bubble of Nanjing and head to the big smoke – Shanghai!!!  And when I say big, Shanghai has 26 million people (2 million more than the whole of Australia).  It truly is a mind boggling stat to wrap my feeble brain around that’s for sure.

Not gonna lie, I was pretty relieved that our friends were escorting us all the way to Shanghai because they too realise we are basically idiots when it comes to being well versed in the public transport situations.  I’ve never been to a train station that was quite so big and bustling so it was awesome to have “handlers”.
