Here we are, then!
Continuous strokes of luck have seen us delivered safely into our new temporary home. Not having a key for the place, we followed a fellow into the builing (good timing) and then, with the help of the cleaner, managed to find the unmarked door of our hostel. Beyond the entrance lay a fairly new, if slightly grotty set of rooms.
We've been exploring the local area on foot. Luck struck again as we found an organic vegetarian restaurant just around the corner. Don't know how authentic it is, but there you are.
We'd both like to relax a bit more, but there are some pressing issues. Nat must decide whether to sign a six month teaching contract, or hang around and investigate other employment opportunities as they present themselves.
We're no closer to finding long-term accomodation yet, either. Though the Singaporean lass who runs the hostel reckons she's looking for a tenant to take over her place. It's a tempting offer, since it's pretty close to the swank French Concession.
Hope we can show you all some pics soon!
Zai jian!

Glad (and relieved, I have to admit) to read that you have arrived in Shanghai and found your immediate accomodation.

Must be so exciting for you! Good luck finding permanent accomodation. Mike Alcock is back in Melb at the moment, going back to China in a week or two.
