New Year's Eve in Shanghai

The past week just whirled by. We went to Shanghai on New Year's Eve. We went right from the train station to the airport and ate and then no-one wanted to go back into Shanghai to see what was going on so we spent our time exploring the airport, visiting and getting to bed early.

Terminal two where the international flights come and go is very modern, clean and attractive.

This morning we saw Darwin, Amber, Caden, Chloe and Owen off - at least into the security area. It was sad to watch them go.

The airport was fairly quiet - at least in the international area, but we took a bus to the train station and it was a madhouse. There were so many people they had policemen or security people allowing only a certain number of people in the station at one time. The Nanjing train station likewise was crowded and the subway was the most crowded we have seen, but we arrived back at our apartment safely.

New Year's is a holiday from school and work here in China.

Good-bye Darwin, Amber and children.
We loved having you here.
