Geared with two guidebooks, one China, one Shanghai, we just started walking, first to our hostel. It was quaint. For my hostel experience, I have to admit that I was very impressed. We got a three person suite with a private bathroom for the low price of $13. The hostel was located only a twenty minute walk from the metro and conveniently located five minutes away from our favorite cafe in China. We made a breakfast stop here at Waggas everyday for egg spinach baguettes and fruit salad with greek yogurt. When certain foods (such as spinach) are few and far between, it was too good to pass up. This is also the place where we met Jude Shao. Look him up. He was frequenter of the New York Times and he has his own website called Free Jude Shao. It was an odd occurrence. First he asked if we were Americans and if we could talk to him because he hadn't talked to any for a long time. We didn't realize that he meant ten years because he had been unrightfully contained in jail. We left after he offered to show us around Shanghai.
