Hongqiao terminals confusing and Expo queues agonizing


DEAR Editor,

Recently I have been in Shanghai for business and for holiday.

It is a very nice city but improvements are badly needed.

In Hongqiao Airport, for instance, nobody among the travel agency staff, the hotel staff, and the taxi drivers were able to tell the difference between Terminal 1 and 2.

As I was going to Shenzhen, we chose the domestic departure, and were proved wrong.

And how is it possible to call an old airport a terminal, whose distance from another terminal is a 20-minute travel in an exceedingly old bus?

And in the Expo, how can humans be made to wait three to four hours under the scorching sun?

Please tell the mayor that the city should go slower, produce fewer things, but do them well.
