Shanghai


We've just finished a snack at Burger King. We'll be boarding the flight to Canada in about half an hour. All seems to be on schedule. We got picked up by a driver the school sent at 6 a.m. this morning. After a short 1 hour 20 minute flight, we arrived in Shanghai. Unfortunately, we weren't prepared to cab it to the other international airport here where our flight was departing from. So, I took out my phrase book to find "airport" and then asked, quite easily thank goodness, to be taken to the other airport. I even managed to answer the taxi driver's questions about which terminal and which airline... all from context of course but it made me LOOK like I understood.

We should be in TO in a mere 14 and a half hours :)  Then should arrive in Ottawa 4 hours later.  Gotta go buy a ridiculously expensive magazine now.  J xo
