Travel: China - Shanghai

[floppy]

MrsKiasu:

Thanks floppy..

I was feeling quite unsettled thinking if I should be prepared to fly back early

Take the train option if you want a cheaper alternative to flying. G train from Shanghai to Xiamen is under 7 hours. Boat ride to Jinmen is around 40mins.

Plus Xiamen is a very nice place to extend your holiday.

We are within driving distance to macau. So either macau or HK. Sorry for the confusion for posting under the Shanghai thread.

People of certain cities in china do talk VERY loudly. It may be mistaken for shouting.


It is just the way they talk, as if everyone else is deaf

Cultural differences.

Making a trip is called a run. Making a trip to get a new visa upon entry is called a visa run.

Buy an airticket to fly to clock the mileage to reach a certain status is called a mileage run

Making a trip to deliver narcotics is called a drug run

I was certainly able to differentiate between talking VERY loudly vs shouting. :evil:

Depends. For months I thought those guys were quarreling. Actually they were just discussing. They used to be my office people.

I am surprised that you mentioned it may be mistaken for shouting... even my 5-year old daughter is able to tell the difference. :rotflmao:
