Shanghai!!

I flew from Seoul to Shanghai this afternoon. It was interesting flying in - we came in over the East China Sea and they have MANY wind turbines out in the ocean. Also what I saw from the air was many, if not ALL commercial buildings roofs were lined with solar panels. Amazing.

I took what’s called a Maglev train from the airport - it stands for magnetic levitation! The train levitates above a guideway using magnetic forces — eliminating all wheel-rail contact. It literally floats. There are five in the world. This particular one I took today has the world record for the fastest train in the world (286 mph). Today we cruised along at a mere 186 mph!! It was VERY smooth.

I was able to get to my hotel easily and then went out for the first time - and went on a river cruise! Shanghai is lit up like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

I did A LOT of walking today … I think the first of many days where I go home with aching feet and legs.
