End of game spoilers!

Once Utopia is accessed, is Shanghai still the only way in or out? Or, can we draw a supply line from bangkok? Is that blue squiggly-squarish line supposed to represent a fence or barrier that a supply line cannot cross?
(In case it wasn't obvious - I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to get from goal to goal in December. I'm rather disappointed, frustrated, and angry at how utterly impossible it was for us to win, despite crushing the game for the first 11 months. I would like to write a long rant on the subject but I figured I should first check to see if I overlooked something .) [/o]

[o]No, I'm pretty sure that you have to start Lake Baikal - Utopia - Shanghai.
I believe that the shortest possible route is seven (red/red/red/black/black/yellow/blue)....although the way we had set up the board prior to December, we needed an additional red.
Either way, I can see how it can be challenging to win December the first time round if you happen to have brought the wrong characters with you, and get a bit of bad luck with the red card draws.....but with knowledge, the second time should be OK?[/o]
[o]You can cut out 1 card, if you go thru the Indian ocean haven, still 7 moves though. I think it made it 3 R, 2 B, H, 1 Y, 1 B. Assuming it was legal to move thru the havens, which from our reading of the card, it was. (said, discard a card of the city color to move into a city, nothing about locations in general, so havens were a non-card move)[/o]
