Extended my stay in SHA for a cple of days, just to be able to witness this eclipse. And hell, did I suffer for it, indeed: http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/arti...cle_408113.htm

We've had blue skies and burning hot sunny weather for almost 2 weeks now.

You better believe it: for some reason the Shanghai heat is 10 times worse than the Dubai heat !! I normally like it hot, but I guess sometimes too much is just too much.

And then this evening it has started to rain - just out of the blue...

Really doesn't look good for Wednesday morning's eclipse.

Keeping my fingers crossed though.

Flying out of this place on EK303 on Wed evening... and looking forward to that too. I just checked, and it looks like plenty of other pple have delayed their PVG-departure as well (flight heavily booked).

I hope we will not be disappointed...
