One more time, I am back in Shanghai. It has only been 2 weeks since the last trip here. This time round came with Ai Yoong for the preview trip to look for our apartment in the upcoming relo to here.
The crowd at the immigration check point was a lot compared to the last trip. However, we passed through immigration with a breeze. The immigration officer was looking at everyone's passport with keen eyes and comparing faces. I guessed it might have something to do with the recent issues in Tibet. Probably...
The relocation agent's driver, Mr Liang picked us up from the airport when we arrived around afternoon, 1.25pm. Weather was so so, bit gloomy due to after rain (so we were told). It is the change of season period of time of the year and we were to expect rain for the next few days. :-( Trip to the hotel was normal for me but should be quite interesting for Ai Yoong since this is her first trip. Stay back at the same hotel, Courtyard Marriott Shanghai. As usual, front desk told me that I would have to wait for 30mins because room is not ready. Seems like room is always not ready even though check-in is spelled out to be 2.00pm. I arrived after 2.00pm but still...
We took a short stroll near the vicinity of the hotel and had our simple dinner at one of the restaurant. Then it is time to hit and sack and get ready for the big day tomorrow.
