2009 China Shanghai

By nowellUncategorized

I flew to Shanghai on American Airlines First Class and had a great time. The ticket, which I got with mileage, was worth $18,000. I arrived at night and took a 24 mile taxi ride that only cost $32 USD.

Shanghai is the fastest growing city in China. It is poised to become the financial capital of the world. In 2010 it will host the World Expo and it promises to be an event like no other seen in China.

Perry lives and works there and we saw a lot of the city and the surrounding countryside.
