Shanghai report

Well, it's been a while since I came back from the trip in Shanghai. But I didn't tell anyone about the trip. So I show some pictures and tell some stories what I saw in there.
It was the first time to go to China for me, so I was currious to see and know. I arrived in 浦東国際空港(Pudong international airport) around 9pm. During the flight from Narita to Shanghai, it took about 2 hours and a half, I was sitting in the middle of old men.(I took JAL at that time, I had an "e-ticket" so I didn't need to go to check-in counter, I could check-in with machine and choose seat where I want to sit. But actually there was just one seat left, so I had no other choice Great.) I was talking with a man next to me who is chinese and working in Japan. He used to work for Nintendo, Hitachi, IBM, Microsoft, Sharp, and now he is working for Fujitsu. He can speak japanese very well and we chated about "geek stuff" :P It was fun but I wanted to watch a movie during flight actually...no time for it. He told me about nice restaurants in shanghai also, it was nice.
Julien picked me up in the airport(he was already in there because of his work) and we took a taxi which is unlicensed(my japanese guide book says that "do not take unlicensed taxi, you might be in trouble". Thank you my guide book but my boyfriend didn't listen to you :P) Anyway we arrived in 人民広場(Renmin Guangchang) safely. We droped our stuff in a hotel and went out. We went to the Bund where is the most famous tourist place in Shanghai. I imagined that the city is lighted up but actully it wasn't. Well actually it was too late to go to see the city, the light is turned off around 9pm. We went to have drink in a bar where is in front of the bund, it was a nice place but some how there were many foreigners like American, French etc.... we saw one group who had a blind date with shanghainese girls, it looked it was not working well :D hehe

First impression about Shanghai is "Lundries"! You can see a lot of "pantsu" hung on bamboos or wires just like this picture :) I was very surprised to see it and I'm not used to it, everytime I looked at lundries because if you don't pay attention to it, sometimes a pantsu is on your face when you are walking :P But the city is nice, I liked the area of french consession. There are many shops and bars where is fashionable place. And also it was interesting to see around old city, you can see the real life of chinese people, like women in pyjamas in the street for example. well sometimes I was shocked to see some stuff though...(^_^;) it was fun anyway.

Here is "Shanghai honey". There were some cameramans who shooted her pictures.
