I had no clue what I wanted to order but at least I could read some of the Chinese characters.
So so so good.

Insanely good food.

The first part of our journey started in Shanghai. We had three hours to burn in China's largest city. We rode the world's fastest train from the airport to our randomly picked destination.

Then we made our way to Hong Kong and Macau. We were fortunate to visit the world's tallest bar before going out into the city. The next day in Macau we partook in the world's highest bungee jump at 233 meters.
