Do you know the way to ChinesePod?

Nice one. I am debating to fly via Shanghai on my way to Europe early next year...

I could probably produce a 3D model of the building and have an animated fly-through. ;)

actually, '#5. Find this staircase.' is rather confusing, I had memorized it and took the first staircase along building 4, which stops on the 1st floor if I remember correctly. What you need is either take the (human-operated) lift, but that's a well-kept secret, or push along to the very end of the building, and then walk up the staircase.

I took these pictures on the way out and back to the subway instead of the order in which they are presented. Of course going there I was totally confused once I reached the correct street address. (The building kind of reminded me of Alcatraz.)

I just sent Jenny an email asking how to get there so this is kind of funny that I stumbled upon this.

Yeah goulniky, that's exactly what I did.

Hmmm, it would seem we need a bird's eye view map. I don't think Google Maps gets in close enough. Anyone...??

LaVandez, are you coming in? When?

We have to got right to the end of the little alleyway and you'll see that old toilet with the 女 on it that was in that picture with the ladies of ChinesePod. The staircase is directly opposite that. The proper toilet is on the left just before you reach the ChinesePod, in case you're nervous about meeting Jenny. When I got to this point on the day I knew I was going to meet Jenny my heart was racing.

John, what you need is a couple more pics from the street entrance all the way down to the end of the alley where the staircase is.

That one helped us a lot in September.

Sounds like a job for Aric.

Colleen has a good picture of the alley in one of her facebook albums.

how about a lesson about it? lots of vocab opportunities : - from/to map/subway/bus stop/parc - street/entrance/left/right/straight, - up/down/floors/stairway/lift - corridor/(former)factory/offices - toilets...

not to mention: - blog/google/pictures - visitors/presents/staff - recording/studio etc.

I recall a dance studio on the ground floor and ChinesePod on the third. The rest of the building seemed vacant and not really what I expected. However, ChinesePod was just as I thought it would be.

I land in Shanghai on Saturday December 8 and I leave Monday afternoon so I just wanted to stop by and take pictures of the building and get a sense of where everything is. I'm flying from Shanghai to Chengdu afterwards.

lavandez, clearly you'll have to take pictures of every step of the way and lay them out like a collage map to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

TaiPan I'll do that.

I hope Interflora can find it. ;)
