Dec 19, 2009 - Shanghai

Woensdag met de snelle trein in 6,5 naar Shanghai! Ronald is best wel zenuwachtig om na 5,5 jaar weer terug te komen in deze stad! Eenmaal aangekomen springen we de metro in en vinden een mooi hostel. ... Met jawel, een westers ontbijt ;-) Donderdagochtend, na een westers ontbijt, Shanghai ontdekken! In een korte tijd zien we al veel: Winkels, warenhuizen, the bund, sightseeing tunnel, hele hoge gebouwen, en Pudong (bekende financiele district). ... Ook het ocean aquarium gezien, heel indrukwekkend, heel veel rare vissen en ook hele lelijke! Zie foto :-) Vrijdag naar Old Shanghai, hele oude gebouwen met moderne winkels erin, dat ziet er toch wel apart uit; een Mac Donalds in een voormalige tempel! Daarna naar een fake markt geweest met een oud collega van Ronald. ... Dit gebouw is pas een jaar klaar en een paar meter ernaast ligt een bouwput waar een nog veel hoger gebouw komt! 's Avonds gaan we wat drinken (bier) in Amerikaanse kroegen, bier was duur maar het goede bandje maakte veel goed! Zondag door de 'French concession' gelopen, een gebied met veel winkels (nog nooit zoveel winkels gezien als in Shanghai!), kleine straatjes met Europese bouwstijl. ... Maandag, vandaag is ons plan een van de dorpjes buiten Shanghai te bezoeken, maar dit gaat niet zoals verwacht. ...

Oct 16, 2009 - Depart Shanghai for home

(I just typed in lots here, but unless I pressed a wrong button, I think "someone" didn't like what I wrote, and they've just gone and deleted it) No joke! Let's see - went to get a view from north of the Bund, ended up in a section that people aren't allowed so I couldn't get a view of the water, there was an embassy with lots of cordons, got a view from the bridge but cloudy and hazy today so not great.(I just typed in lots here, but unless I pressed a wrong button, I think "someone" didn't like what I wrote, and they've just gone and deleted it) No joke!
