I think it is saying something about system upgrade in progress.

Talk about a last-minute decision!

Hopefully you can join us.

I too am brand new and interested. Is there still room for all the Friday and Saturday events? JUST PUT A TICKET ON HOLD today. Need to check with hubby when he gets home.

ANY FEMALES NEED A ROOMIE?

+1, I'll also have a yellow tag but a slightly different shade of yellow with a slightly different forum name.... :p

Welcome aboard. Please note that the Shanghai city tour is on Friday. Keep your eye on the thread for updates.

:( I won't be coming as I found an "easier" mini-vacation to Europe and let my itinerary-on-hold cancel.

Thanks to the organizers and I will be better prepared with visa in hand for the next opportunity.

Have a wonderful time!

Just FYI, when I went to Cloud 9 they pulled the "you agree to be charged in US$ at a higher mark up because we printed this in text so faint you can't read it in the dim light" trick.

Thanks for the heads up. I was reading about that in the China forum. Any advice on avoiding that?

Hope taxis are cheap. I'm now equipped with my only paid app Shanghai Taxi Guide mentioned upthread.

Just watched "Shanghai Kiss" on Hulu.com and the city looks fantastic. Can't wait.

Cloud 9 was the only place I noticed it... just make sure to check your receipts carefully before signing anything. It's not enough to see RMB on it, there should be nothing mentioning agreeing to be charged in USD or a USD total.

Have just received notification that TG no longer does the PVG-BKK morning flight so United has rerouted me on SQ to SIN, a short layover in SIN and then on a nonstop into CHC, all in C!

This change also means I will be departing PVG day later (the 15th) so for the few who will still be there on the 14th, I'm up for a trip to Suzhou or wherever.

Now need to organize an extra night's accommodation, but will most likely stay on at the Westin.

Getting quite excited - just three days until departure!

See you both in the AC, I'm also on the same flight to PVG. Look for the person sleeping off in the farthest corner (or the kids room if it's empty) since I'll have arrived from LAX on the redeye. :)

Are you both in Y, or were you able to find your way into C?

On the way there I'm in C, thanks to a wonderful surprise from alicesantamonica. :)
