I am writing to you today from the 58th floor of the Grand Hyatt Shanghai - the world’s tallest hotel. The hotel actually starts on the 54th floor and goes all the way up to the 84th floor. Also it lays claim to the title of having the world’s highest pool, the world’s highest gymnasium and the world’s highest bar. Now can you believe that right now I am looking out my hotel room and all I can see is clouds - not ones off in the distance, I mean we are so high that right now we are in the clouds!!

Last night we had a very yummy six course Chinese meal, while at the same time we watched some of the most amazing Shanghai acrobats and kung-fu performers. Check out the pictures - can you image holding up a person who is up-side-down with your mouth, while at the same time spinning eight plates on some sticks?? Well that is what these incredible girls can do. (Click on the photos to enlarge).

Katherine and I are off on a tour of the city in 20 minutes so stay tuned for more updates!!
