I redesigned at the beginning of the year - it had stayed the same for so long so it was time for a change. Glad to hear you think so highly of me :P Unfortunately SMS'ing my UK number wont get you very far but hopefully catch you on MSN sometime soon! Hi Maria, good to hear from you!

Your blog looks great too, when did this redesign happen? I love the pictures at the top ^_^ and I'm very jealous that you're seeing such awesome things :) I was going to say I can't believe you were essentially trespassing to get good pictures, but unfortunately I can. Sorry about being out of touch for a while: I need to pounce and say hello next time I'm on msn. Will your 'phone pick up my message if I text you too?

BTW: A few years henceforward, there will be the highest building of Greater China next door, so the then three buildings will form a triangle footprint.

I felt a bit sick looking down also. Lu - thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I didn't have time to go in the World Financial Center which was a pity because it looks spectacular, especially at night. Also a pity they have to charge so much for admission and not much chance of being able to sneak in :) M – Seasick indeed! I felt a bit sick looking down also.

Did you go to the building "next door", the Shanghai World Financial Center, as well? Next time you come to Shanghai and want to visit something smaller, go and see the URBN, www.urbnhotels.com, a small, friendly designer hotel oasis on 183 Jiaozhou Lu (just north of Beijing Xi Lu), a former factory building and China's first Carbon-neutral hotel ...
