I wish I skipped Shanghai...

Don't mean to sound so negative, but Shanghai is the first city in my travels I wish I had skipped over. I guess I was swayed by its metropolitan allure, but unless you're into miles of walking to shop and most things being overpriced, then maybe you'll like it. The only real history it had here was the Shanghai Museum, which was conveniently only a couple of blocks away. Alas, it was pretty comparable to the National Taiwan Museum in that after about the halfway point I started to get a bit bored. I guess for some reason, there's only so much Chinese history I can take?
The Bund is under heavy construction for the 2010 Expo, so we decided to give that a skip. On top of that, the unbearable weather really made it difficult to do any exploring.
Not much else to say about Shanghai except I'm glad to be leaving in a couple of hours. Fortunately Beijing looks like it's chock-full of things to do which should occupy me enough until I get the hell out of China!
