I haven't been able to find a definitive English Mass schedule for St. Ignatius Cathedral online for Christmas. The membership thing is a rumour I've heard too, but I've never seen it confirmed. Best bet is to call the cathedral directly or check their website closer to the date – things often get posted last minute. As for the regular Mass thing, I'm in! Let's coordinate closer to Christmas if we can't find a schedule.

That's a good point about calling them directly – I completely overlooked that. Their website is notoriously unhelpful, isn't it? I'm happy to coordinate too. Maybe create a little group chat closer to the time to keep everyone updated?

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
