| Firstly - I just wanted to say, thanks so much for taking the time to document all these important details for international travellers, Jian Shuo Wang! I am going to Shanghai from Australia for the Special Olympics (October 2-11) and I leave in two days - I just realised I didn't know what the weather will be like, whether I can use my mobile (cell phone) to call home to Australia, how I'll get from the airport or where I'll go when I'm not watching the Special Olympics events. Your site is fantastic, and it has been a great help. Secondly, I've been warned that there is a week-long holiday in Shanghai from October 1, and that the entire city shuts down. Is that true? Do taxis charge a special holiday fare/surcharge? Also, I'm a strict vegetarian, and I only speak English. What's the best way to explain "vegetarian" (meaning, I don't eat any meat, seafood or eggs) to local resturants? |
