>The monorail from Shanghai airport to the city looked worth the ride

Is that the maglev?

When we were in China we had no problem communicating, without knowing any 
Chinese. Stall holders in market places generally have calculators with 
large numerals on them and will enter the price to show it to you. You can 
then enter your bid, and so on until you reach an agreeable price.

Shanghai was nice - the little we saw of it. I do remember standing on one 
side of the river in the area that was the English quarter when they were 
there, and looking across the river at the Shanghai Tower - which one could 
only just make out in the smog.
