China, a country that is known for so many things, but not always positive things. We have been determined to visit China for ourselves for a long time, and we are finally now here to witness it with our own eyes! Our Chinese adventure is starting our in Shanghai, and from the moment we landed we were filled with excitement, uncertainty and shock!
