It had been decided that New Years would not be spent in Hong Kong. This decision was on the back of last year's somewhat lacklustre end to 2011. Our eyes heavy and bloodshot around the outdoor coffee table on the patio of Caine Building as the sun rose for the first time in 2012. It was a tired and yet familiar sight, however we decided that we would make an effort to be somewhere else in 365 days.
That somewhere else would be Shanghai. It had been over 6 years since I had last been to Shanghai and I remember it being a city that I had loved. I was excited to be going back to see how the city had changed. Not surprisingly, the city has changed over the course of 6 years. One thing for sure, I would love to live here for a stint, if only language weren't such a barrier.

Interesting incident with the taxi driver re-emphasising how the lack of communication can get you into trouble. This ended up in commotion and fisty cuffs with the driver. I should really brush up the Mandarin.
