[quote=GUESTMICHAEL,373619]Ellyse, once again you are absolutely right on all points!

Since I was getting a little desperate and needed to check out of my room in Yanzhou, I went ahead and booked a room at the Holiday Inn next to the Railway Station in Shanghai.  (It's a wonderful room and not a bad rate, considering it's Shanghai).

On the way down, though, the train stopped at both Nanjing and Suzhou - two cities that I have *really* wanted to visit.  If I had done my homework, I would have just jumped off at Nanjing, but since I was already committed to a hotel, I stayed on to Shanghai.

You are absolutely right about the touts at the Railway Station, Ellyse.  I think because it was after midnight and "lao wai" are hard to come by at that hour, the touts were quite aggressive and not a little bit scary.  I am really glad I was able to beat a quck retreat to my hotel - but not before a sweet young working lady offered to provide a host of exotic companionship services of a startlingly intimate and personal nature.

There's no place like Shanghai! [mood3][/quote]
