Time for plane no. 2.
I enjoyed the 10 minutes spent landside at Shanghai.
Culturally, even though this is a fairly major international airport, it felt very different to the West.
The sheer number of staff milling around! The immigration agents had a sort of parade with their stamps.
Security felt rather dated in comparison, although certainly effective. My bag was dissected several times!

Salted herring and tuna broccoli salad is the ideal breakfast
Japan has already won me over. Other Western tourists are eyeing the options with great suspicion!

My Suica has been vandalised!
It transpires this has a leuco rewritable coating, so special products (like this 1 day season) are literally lasered onto the front (including a map!) and overwritten/removed once used.
Extremely extra but very cool. I've never seen one of these in the wild before.
