A big belated Thank You to spaceman, TravellerOnline and Dale for everything! However may I humbly request cheaper choices of restaurants next time? I'm afraid I cannot afford to spend on such a level so often, and it's not possible to blatantly sit in without ordering anything... Also, will anyone be collating a contact list for those who might want to stay in contact for the future yet forgot to get the relevant information?

wrxmom, looking forward to seeing you in a few days -- let me know where/how to meet up!

BTW if anyone is interested in some restaurant reviews for Shanghai (and lots of other travel pages too), here's a link to my VirtualTourist Shanghai Restaurants travel page: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/1d57/5be/2/
