A trip to Shanghai

I take the train today to Shanghai in order to pick up my new 48 page passport from the Canadian Consulate there. I have to bring it back to Wuxi and quickly have a new Visa put in. My current Visa expires on July 1, Dominion Day.

I have already secured my return ticket. It is good to know someone who can get return tickets for you. Normally, the first thing a train traveller has to do once he arrives at his or her destination is purchase a return ticket.

You have to know where to go to get return tickets. They are not so easily purchased at the main ticket offices.

My trip to Shanghai will take about 60 minutes. Before the fast trains, it would have taken about two hours.
