Arrived back in Shanghai yesterday, after our trip to Japan. We spent a total of 5 days on a ferry to get there and back. The first part was very relaxing, calm see, meeting fun people, doing my beadwork. The trip back was a bit different. Very rough sea, and the anti-seasickness medication was both not very productive, and affecting my vision (known temporary side-effect). Also, the tension on board seemed raised, since the terrible accident with the Korean Ferry, which was pretty much in the same waters as us. We did a major safety drill, which was both funny, and nervous.

Anyway, shipping my first box home tomorrow: mostly bead books and magazines. And old Beijing style yoghurt pots ;-)
