Busy busy...

On Monday... busy busy...
Rushing crazy to find somewhere to post my gear back to UK...
Had a mate offer to use his business contact to send some stuff back via a freighter via sea...

However was a bit urgent to Mail back as I had to fly to Beijing on Tue...
So @ a cost of 337RMB (approx...22 quid) and @ a weight of 10Kg, I sent some clothes and books back to UK using the Post Office in Shanghai. I went to the International Post Office in North Suzhou Road and North Sichuan Road. There people are more civil, they also sort you out... I managed to do all this in Chinese but I had expected to find the international service to do it all in English...
They will prob arrive later like after xmas I expect...
more details...

International Post Office
[Guoji youju]
Corner of Sichuan Beilu and Suzhou Bei Lu 2nd Floor, times 8.30am-11am & 1-4.30pm.
The section for International Parcels is in the same building around the corner, poste restante is at counter no 7.
Sourced from Lonely Planet Guide.

After this had lunch then hit the gym (last time to do it in Shanghai this year!!!!... sad!!!)
Also said a final good bye to my trainer as well...

Then off to Yu Gardens to check out some trinkets to buy as souvenirs for mates... bargained hard a bit here and there...
Then off home to Pack... should have met up with another friend for another final goodbye... but I've been soo tired this trip to Shanghai meeting up people and touring with my mate...

But now really sad to say goodbye to Shanghai... it almost feels final... but perhaps only for this year... waiting on my job offers and will come to a decision what to do...

Now here in Beijing, I reckon I would had been stoned today if I hung out all night in Shanghai...

Back in Beijing now...
