We are leaving for Shanghai this afternoon. Throughout the next week wedding guests will arrive almost every day: Miyuki and Tomoko are sharing the same flight with us, but will leave for Xi An tomorrow and rejoin us next Friday. David and Jeanett will arrive on Sunday. Jacek will also arrive on Sunday, but in Beijing, and travel to Shanghai from there by yet unspecified means. Kojima-san will come on Wednesday, my parents and sister on Thursday. Friday sees the arrival of the other guests from Japan (Ingo, Chihiro, Imai-san, Sawada-sensei, Natasha, Masataka, and Miwa-san, all on the same flight). Audi will arrive Saturday morning, just in time for the party. The Chinese guests are supposed to find the way by themselves. European mobile phones are likely to continue working in Shanghai, Japanese ones probably not. Cissy will have a mobile phone, and I will try to read email as often as possible. We will carry a piece of paper with everyone's schedule on us all the time, so hopefully no one gets lost (if I failed to mention you above, that is definitely a bad sign).
