Thank you to the fire drill in Dennis Sciama building for waiting until after I finished my lunch before going off 💙

Lunch itself was 2 hunks of bread buttered, some smoked cheese, and chorizo..!

Visited the Shanghai Maglev yesterday and was immensely impressed. Top speed 301km/h!! Smooth ride & it was very fun overtaking the metro there/back.

Highly recommend if you‘re interested in this kind of stuff; a round trip maglev ticket is 40yuan, which is ~4.15GBP! ⚡️🚝
