Tks 'TD'...

T'was May 2004 when I went there last, and the 'Mag-Lev' was probably the 'most interesting' ride of the trip!

And yes, it is only from the 'outer burbs' to Pudong - BUT - its bloody quick!!
And nice. And cheap. And, OH so ssmmooooth....
And, I just LUV the way the cute attendants STAND by the interconnecting doorways during the trip - just to reassure us 'ferangs'.

The visual pollution was not too bad in May - even in Beijing we were told it was mostly 'yellow sand' dust from Mongolia which is not that far away.

And it smelled like dust as well - not necessarily motor / industrial pollution.

But, the message is - E N J O Y!!!
