We met Amy after lunch and were visiting the Jing'an Temple - which was totally different from what we have seen so far - cos not the red and blue but wooden-brown. Then we were being lazy and not too good for our stomachs coz we had ice-cream, bubble-drinks and other sweet almost-food.Then we deci…

today was a good day.. yesterday i just remembered that we were trying to get to the river!! the whole river was blocked on one side for miles.. so we walked along the river side without actually seeing the river... but this morning was different.. we met up with amy around 1 near this station and …

As I mentioned, I had every good intention to go to the Shanghai Museum. I meant to do that 'today' but didn't. I went shopping again, but for sensible things - I picked up some green tea and jasmine tea to take home, as well as a really nice hardback book of Chinese Home cooking recipes - I really…

After 3 whole days in Qingdao I thought it was time for change. I said goodbye to my irish friend and my canadian roommate and headed for the trainstation. The taxidriver did´nt understand where I wanted to go but I solved it with some bodylanguage :p At first I thought about to skip Shanghai and…

You can still make it - go, go, go! I sprint down the empty station platform just as the whistle sounds. I can see a female guard at the nearest entrance to the still stationary train – I'm going to do it – yes! It's just like in the films when the hero gets there in the nick of time. …

I spent most of the day trying to find a park in Shanghai with no luck, I later on discovered it was hidden in a shopping complex. It was the hottest day for me so far and sweat was dripping from my face like it was raining. An hour before we were due to leave to catch the 26 hour train to Yangshuo…

Spent 2 weeks in Shanghai for work. Ate lots and took pics of the food.

i was overly excited for a month....and now i think it was all for the right reasons. This was the happiest trip I have had so far. Traveling alone was not so bad after all. People who have actually been there told me 6 days was too long to spend in that city. I actually brought a book to keep me c…

Nous revoila a Shanghai. On a fait le meme chemin mais, vous l'aurez devine, dans l'autre sens.Nous avons éré dans French Concession et en apres-midi nous sommes aller avec J-F et June dans un grand parc dans Pudong. Le ciel etait maculé de cerf-volant. C'etait vraiment un bel apres-midi. On a b…

Hey, there.  I suppose the best way to travel around in Shanghai city center is the subway!  Shanghai's subway doesn't offer the day or week travel ticket package. Just buy the ticklet as you want! For the outersuburban district - Zhujiajiao, You can take the coach in People square or …

Shanghai is the probably the ‘New York’ of  Mainland China, and there’s not much to see except for the Jade Buddha and the Shanghai Museum. So after seeing the Bund last night, I thought Id try my luck and get tickets for an overnight train to Xi’an that night. Train tickets as I’ve …

today I had some time in the afternoon to do a little sightseeing. Starting at "The Bund" which I drove by on my way to the hotel after my "driver" got lost... I made a short walk along the river. Due to the fact next year there will be World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, the city is one big construction …
