What's the accommodation like in Shanghai?
It's expensive! Hotels are kind of old, but I found a pretty good deal, a cozy duplex with an amazing view for $75 a night, but the bathroom stinks a bit.
What did you think of the Chinese hot pot?
It was pretty good, nothing crazy, but okay. We made it half spicy, half not spicy because I don't really like spicy food.
What was the most surprising thing you found in Shanghai?
Probably the European feel of the French Concession! It really feels like you're in Europe, not China at all!
