Stressful Arrival In Shanghai, China - My 1st time in China

What's Shanghai and China going to be like? Let's find out!

Today, we are going to travel to Shanghai, China. It's going to be my first time in China, so I am very excited. Not many western tourists are traveling to China, so I am not really sure what to expect. I will take a flight from Bangkok directly to Shanghai, where I then hopefully be able to get a visa on arrival. Join me on this traveling day to the very interesting country of China.
