Shanghai, China. After a long plane ride, a comical subway ride, and a slightly painful trek through downtown Shanghai, we are safe and comfortable in our hostel. This city is so much fun. The simple task of finding some earplugs becomes and adventure when you become lost, get led into a black market store, make friends with some amiable Chinese kids eager to practice their English, get distracted by magical massage chairs in the mega mall, and are served chicken hearts during your BBQ pit stop. Tomorrow evening we will depart on a two day train ride for Kunming in the southwestern province of Yunnan, which is only a bus ride away from our first put in on the Mekong River. Enjoy the comic!
