I am very, very, very excited that I have finally confirmed my ticket for Bangkok, and will also be visiting Hong Kong and Shanghai as well! Finding destinations in visa-sensitive South East Asia was not easy. And after finally conceding that I would not be able to visit Vietnam for lack of time to obtain a visa, and nixing Singapore because it's so damn expensive, I am glad that I at least get to visit Hong Kong which on the top of my "must visit" list. More importantly, and thus the title of this entry, I will be visiting Shanghai, China, my other homeland! For all of you who delight in calling me an immigrant and love pressing my "immigrant button", I use the term homeland for you.
As for visiting China, i'm really not sure I know what i've got myself into. I have no idea what to expect, but like reading an unknown author or a watching an unfamiliar movie, I am often strangely surprised, and so I hope the same fate for my experience in China. If there is anything you want from there, please let me know. And if you don't know what to ask for, just remember all the times you turned over that obscure plastic product, or a cheap cotton tank top, only to see a "made in China" sticker on its bottom! I am very lucky to have an aunt in China, and so I will not be completely hopeless.
1 more week til I leave for Bangkok, whopeee!
