2008 August 上海 Shanghai

SHANGHAI AUGUST 2008





I unexpectedly love Shanghai

I arrived on the train from Hangzhou at midday today

Taxi to a quaint little hostel in a back alley that is
so CHINESE

Shanghai is reigniting my love for China

So I walked all day today

I walked to the yayuan park area???????

It is that cool place with the zig zag bridge

and has white buildings brown roofs, the roofs curling up at the end-- so Chinese

Shanghai has blue skies, less pollution, the traffic is slower and it is more relaxed less heavy than Beijing

People are friendly enough

LOTS of GREEN

reminds me a lot of SYdney because many buidlings are built in the
20's and 30's

People complain that it is too western
but I think it is DEFINITELY CHINESE

longs or bikes, Chinese laundry - people hanging their laundry outside there
window

Shang Hai is a clean Chinese city but it has enough grit to give in character

went for a walk along the Bund
