Saturday - 09 February 2008

Jet Lag - I was awake between 02:30 and 05:30., and was thinking that the gym opens at 06:30, next thing I knew the maid was waking me up at 10:15. I borrowed a phone charger adapter from hotel housekeeping and walked to the Post Office on Hubei, strolled to Nanjing Lu. Went into a noodle cafe for breakfast. Back to the hotel for a snooze - v. tired!

After snoozes with New Year firecracker disturbances arranged to meet Zoe at Hengshan Lu station (exit 1). She was late! We went to the library and bought 1 hours internet access each. You needed passport ID to access the internet. We walked to a tube station and got the tube to Pudong. We walked to "The Kitchen" for an extremely nice but rather expensive pizza and cannelloni meal. We walked to the Jin Mao Tower - it was rather a tricky job getting to it on foot because of all the wide dual carriageway roads surrounding it. Took the lift to the bar on th 87th floor and had cocktails.

Zoe taxied home and I went to O'Malley's to watch Wales v Scotland (Wales won 30 - 15). I started to watch Ireland lose to France but left after an hour. Thought I might have trouble getting a taxi back to the City Centre since it was 3am on Sunday 10 February 2008. Not sleepy, so finished off some Ferrero Rocher in bed.
