Even getting from the airport is special! You can go on the MagLev train (Magnetic levitation):
It freaken flogs:
Here's a short vid of us going next to a motorway, makes the cars look like they're standing still...
The first thing that hits ya when you get to shanghai is just how damn smoggy it is, it's insane! Makes Bangkok's air look clean!

It's pretty impressive lit up at night:
Here's a view from the Pearl tower side, looking back across the river at the rest of the city:
Of course, we had to go up it! Great views:
