What was the Chinese medicine like?
Oh my god, it smelled spicy and tasted like burnt whiskey! It made me cry and shake, but I felt better afterward.

It was super, super fast and powerful! It felt like we were hovering in the air and went from zero to 300 kilometers per hour in just two minutes!
What was the best part of the trip?
Probably getting the best fireworks show in all of Shanghai while taking off from the airport during Chinese New Year!
