431 km/h

We got up to 431 km/h (will post that photo later), certainly the fastest I've been along the ground!

Maglev train

After travelling with the prelariate yesterday and taking 5 hours to go 60 km, now I will go 30 km in 15 min at 430 km/h max to the airport in VIP class.

Me at 350 m

Ok, much the same as lower down...just a bit higher up.

My feet at 863 feet

Yes, those are my feet at 259 m above the street, and yes I am freaking out...

Oriental Perl Tower Shanghai

A rare clearish day is perfect for a last day of sight seeing in Shanghai.
