Big mistake telling us that. Just think of the things we can have sent to your room
is china not still communist?
that doesnt look like the ideal communists hotel, like should the hotel not be plain and boring and drab and you would have to work for your nights
sleep?
That'll show the beggars
P.S. load up with tig welders for the return trip

The ironic thing is Darren W off the list is on the same flight as me, or I'm on the same flight as him, small world.
Looking forward too checking out the revolving restaurant.
How many RPM does it revolve at?
The buggers are making me stay here
Ive just booked this for my last night, dont know how i will cope!!

I was talking to a Mate who has said Nanjing road is one of the main centre areas in Shanghai.
Yew Gardens market area is apparently THE place to go for DVD's watches etc.
Ive also been told to try New heights restaurant and Red Leaf pub.
My first stop is Mianyang, hotel here isnt so good. Then Hangzhou, hotel is first rate followed by top Marriott where ive booked executive floor
deluxe room. Even has complimentary cocktails and hors d'oevres!!!! Tres Posh.
I stayed in the Sofitel Capsis in Ixia (Rhodes). It was a palace. I hope the drinks are being paid for by your company
Oh I stayed there in 2005. Very nice hotel I was on a floor way up high and it's far more than £30/night - but much better than the Hilton where
I stayed last year which is about the same price. The bill for 2 nights in the Sofitel in Shanghai was about the same as two weeks in Xiangfan.
Be aware that its very expensive for food and drinks on the top floor.

why are all you guys going to china anyway?
really that a dumb question if i was being serious cause lots of people have legitimated business in china
Myself and Jon are looking at a new chassis and carbon bodywork manufacturer . There are also some good bulk buy options. Weve recently secured a
warehouse in uK that can take 6 containers worth of goods at one time. Watch this space for details...
Also just located a supplier of casings that can take 2 bike engines to form V8's on a budget as a kit.
Only joking of course. Nothing as so exotic. I work for a Chinese Automotive components manufacturer so going over to hold some Project Management
reviews.

Had an email this morning and apparently it's cleared customs now. So it looks like I will probably be in Shanghai on the nights of the 4th and
14th Feb. Also likely to be flying Virgin but up the front
Chris I will still be there then, want my email or mobile ?Also have a Chinese mobile number too use over there, cheaper apparently.........
Chinese mobile will be a lot cheaper for local calls.
Has anyone warned the Chinese officials that some LCB's have been set loose?????
maybe you should start a chinese meet thread in the clubs & events section

Jon,
u2u me with the info. although I will be with someone so may not get the chance.
L8ers,
Chris
If you go to the "RED LIPS" bar across the road, watch out for the ladies. Talk to them and you'll get a hefty bill!!
The Tempanyaki Restaurant (not sure of spelling) is great. All you can eat and drink for about a tenner. Everything is done on a griddle in front of
you. Great food, but best done with a few others.
Regards, Ian.
