Food and view from the plane.  This was really our breakfast; it included watermelon, noodles and chicken and a pastry with juice.  It was not until we neared Shanghai did the clouds really stack up.  We landed at 10AM and the forecast puts landfall of Muifa at 7PM.  The immigration and customs process was very easy and fast.  There is an area you enter called the "Disinfection area" it was confusing in that there were fruit amnesty stations but we walked we all had to walk through a portal that was just large enough for one person.  As I walked through I saw "radiation scanner" at first I thought I was being radiated as part of the disinfection but then I realized it was scanning for radiation.   Susan insisted that they ride in the cab with me which was a non-incident.  Cabs are VW Santana I was dropped off at the hotel and immediately fell asleep once in my room for a few hours.It is 5PM and it is still not raining.  Clouds are streaking across the sky so it must be getting close.
 
 View from my room at the Kerry Parkside hotel.

 This angle you are able to see Shanghai and the Pudong side of the city.  The large green space is a large park that has a $3 RMB which is about $1usd admission rate.  Susan has not been but when the weather cools she wants to go in.
