The writings/articles/scribbles are my collection of what is stumbled or read somewhere on the net (I try to give credit where it is due). Most of the time I forgot where I read something, hopefully this will compile all those in one site and along the way we hope not to compromise or infringe any law.

China trip during Ramadhan - Day 5
Early morning ride to Jinan Airport for flight to Shanghai Hongqiao airport, can't resist taking the Maglev (just for the thrill of travelling on land at over 400km/hr) to Shanghai Pudong Airport.
Long wait at the airport for the MAS flight back to Kuala Lumpur

China trip during Ramadhan - Day 4
MMM... on average the Shandong people are quite tall. Lets visit the Jinan tech park and have a chat with the authorities and the Mayor of Jinan.
A mosque at Jinan. Have a look at the simple stool for those who cant stand for too long.
The area for ablution and old fashion toilet stalls.
Visiting Baotu Spring park, a long history of over 2,600 years.

China trip during Ramadhan - Day 1
Arrival at Shanghai Pudong Airport and take the minibus to Ramada Pudong just next to the airport.
Straight away to Shanghai City on the Maglev train, note the speed at 430km/hr. Night cruise along the river.. really wide river that is.
This is the Orient Pearl Tower in Shanghai. The queue to go up the tower stretches over hundreds of meter all around the base of the tower.
This is the menu and my meal for sahur :)
