Well right now, I am excellent.
Here's a the thing: Back-in-the-day, when we were young and good-looking, Nick and I decided to go to Japan the year we graduated from Uni. This gradually got further and further from happening as various things cropped up (like money lol), and it was looking like spending more than a thousand pounds just to get there and eat whilst there.
So, that plan went on the shit-heap, and I started using both sides of my brain.
Now, last time I went to China, I went for three weeks, stayed in a school, went on a summer camp, got most meals included and English-speaking Chinese people to help us all get around.
This time, there is no help, so we will be relying totally on The Rough Guide.
We fly on the 15th June, with Emirates (omg how plush are their planes???), from Birmingham Airport
There is a two-hour stop in Dubai - so I can say I've been, if only in international departures.
Then we get to Pudong International and get the world's only commercial Maglev Train to the hotel.
I am so excited I just might die before we even set off!!! :D:D:D:D:D
