Gochugaru Girl wanted to experience the metro whilst in Shanghai.
Shanghai Metro has a unique feature, unavailable on the London Underground, or on any Western metro system.
Travel
Shanghai: A Room with a View
Gochugaru Girl had so many choices when considering where to stay in Shanghai.
This is a city where, literally, the sky is the limit.
Shanghai Calling
Gochugaru Girl has a lot of catching up to do.
A month has nearly passed since our sun-filled trip to the Far East.
24 Hours in Lantau
Gochugaru Girl has 24 hours in Lantau Island to rest before an onward flight to Shanghai.
To maximise both sightseeing and sleep time we are staying as close to the airport as possible.
Sichuan Dried Chillies
Gochugaru Girl has a treasured jar of deep-red dried chillies.
The chillies look ordinary but they have a very interesting provenance.
South Korea: Lunch in Suwon
Gochugaru Girl has two worries when travelling to a new country.
The first concerns understanding the language.
Date and Orange Cake
Gochugaru Girl likes bringing home different types of food from her travels.
I was intrigued by a bottle of date and orange jam when supermarket shopping recently.
It is probably possible to eat gelato 24/7 in the The Eternal City. However it is advisable to exercise some caution, so that what you purchase is not wasted, or indeed waisted.
