Cloud 9
We splurged while in Shanghai and treated ourselves to a couple of drinks at the Cloud Nine bar on the 87th floor of the spectacular Jinmao building. We went up just as the sun was setting over the city and the lights were coming on. Trying out best not to look like scruffy backpackers, we hid our day pack and dusty shoes.
Me, a yummy cocktail and Shanghai at night
The moon rises above the architecturally aclaimed Jinmao building
An awesome view of modern Pudong in the foreground and the historic Bund in the background

OK...I think that a good title for the book would be 'Hungry Pirates' and underneath...'Taking a break from our lives to work, travel and eat our way across Asia and Europe', as you have at the top of your blog. Alternatively you could have 'Before we Settle Down' as a title and underneath...'We promised our families we would be home by Christmas'. Just a thought.

Mum- Thanks for the suggestions, they have been duly noted and we will be having words re the second suggestion!
MPPP- Thanks for your comment. We actually both got hair cuts shortly after these photos, but you can hardly tell as they like the long hair look in China- well the male hairdressers at least did.
