The art of chopsticking

China preparations are underway. Today we sat together as a team and discussed the practical matters regarding our upcoming departure and our following three months in Shanghai. We were able to ask questions like "What time do we meet at the airport?" and "Will we need to bring towels?" as well as have things cleared up like "YES, you can buy tampons there." and "No you can't find lotion without whitening." Ahh the adventure begins! I have a six month multiple entry Chinese visa in my passport and I'm practicing my chopstick skills...I'm ready to go! We have a packed schedule but I'm still determined to explore like crazy. If any of you have been to Shanghai and have some hot tips, please comment and share!
Lots of love, Sky
