Tour of Sanghai China
May 10, 2018
10thMay 2018
It must have been my third day in Shanghai & the first time I had been alone in a foreign country. I decided I would spend the day around the things I love the most, airplanes. I had read about an aviation museum near Hongqiao International Airport, so I set out to find it.
I didn’t understand a word of Chinese & the concepts of subways & public busses were completely foreign to me. In hindsight, I should have paid attention when my friend explained the subway system to me. I should also point out that this particular day was cold & it was raining, the worst weather combination in my opinion.
I made my way to the closest metro station, got a few snacks & jumped on the first train that was headed in the right direction. I made it to Jing’an Temple & I had to change lines there. It seemed simple because there was only one other line at that station… maybe not simple enough. Perhaps I was overwhelmed by the culture shock or maybe it was my complete ignorance for public transport, either one, I got on the correct line going in the wrong direction.
About an hour & a half later, I arrived at the end of the line which happened to be Pudong International Airport. I realized I had made a mistake. I connected to the WIFI & reassessed how to get to the other airport. Slightly upset, I headed back to the metro & attempted to get to the other airport.
After a further two & a half hours, I got off the train at the station before Hongqiao in the hopes of being able to walk around & find the museum. It was cold & wet & I struggled to make my way around. I decided to go back to the metro, get to the airport, find some food & then try find the museum from that angle.
Due to some safety concern, the police weren’t letting non-passengers into the airport & from my understanding, you could only leave that area on the metro or in a car, not on foot. Being naïve & not knowing that these things happen while travelling, I was extremely upset & felt really emotional. I was hungry, dripping wet & shivering. The only shop in the metro station was a tea stand with a glass display case full of cakes & treats. I went there to buy some tea. Using a combination of charades & pointing, I stumbled my way through an order. I got my cup of tea & I went to pierce the plastic covering with a straw… Sploosh! The straw had gone through the whole cup. Piping hot tea all over my hand, down my arm, covering the entire display case & dripping into puddles on the floor.
I often think of how amusing it must have been for passers-by to see an awkward foreigner being shouted at by a tea vendor. I never did find that aviation museum. I also never got to taste that Oreo infused vanilla milk tea. I did, however, learn the importance of checking the weather forecast, double checking you are headed in the right direction(literally) & making sure you know exactly where you want to go, not just having a vague idea.

OnePlus 6 REVEALED? Huge leak shows fans what they can expect from new Android phone
AS the OnePlus 6 nears its launch, speculation about the spec of the Chinese smartphone start-up’s latest Android device has reached fever pitch.
The OnePlus 6's launch event on May 16 will reveal all, finally
Now, an entry on the Chinese certification website TENAA may have given away all of the juicy details on the OnePlus 6.
The listing states that the new OnePlus phone will have a 6.28 inch AMOLED screen, FHD+ resolution and an even smaller notch than on the Apple iPhone X.
The TENAA record shows that the OnePlus 6 will have a resolution of 1080 by 2280 pixels, this will give a 19:9 aspect ratio.
The notch at the top of the edge-to-edge display on the OnePlus 6 is said to be just 19.6mm x 7.68mm big.
Meanwhile, the much-vaunted phone is, according to the TENAA record, set to come with 6GB of RAM as standard and 256GB of internal storage.
There is also expected to be another version with 8GB of RAM.
The OnePlus 6’s camera has been talked up by the manufacturers, and an innovative tie-in with Vogue India saw it create the first smartphone-shot cover of any Indian magazine.
It was also the first Vogue cover globally to use a smartphone camera.
Photographer Errikos Andreou used the OnePlus 6 to shoot model Aditya Rao Hydari for the magazine,
The new phone will have a dual-camera configuration on its rear, comprised of 20MP and a 16MP camera, along with a 16MP front-facing camera.
The TENAA listing also reiterates many rumours that we have already heard about the new phone.

The OnePlus 6 will challenge Apple and Samsung once again
For instance it states that the OnePlus 6 will run on an octa-core processor, namely the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, and that the phone will run Oxygen OS based on the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system.
Other details have sneaked out too, with OnePlus confirming that, like the iPhone X, the OnePlus 6 will have a glass case.
Fans also expect the new phone to be the company’s first water-resistant device and to sport astonishingly tiny bezels.
A special Avengers edition of the OnePlus 6 will also be released, but unfortunately for UK fans that is allegedly set to be exclusively available in India.
The OnePlus 6 will be launched on May 16 ahead of being available at a range of pop-up stores - the only UK one to be in Shoreditch, east London, from May 21.
It is rumoured to retail for around £500 in the UK.
