Shanghai Trip

From 12-20 March, i was out for vacation in Shanghai. It was a trip to fulfil a statement sweetheart make few years back. After alot of deliberations, we decide this will be a good time to travel over to visit Shanghai. Heard so much about it. How modern it is compare to SIN. Couple with the few trips to China experience, we embarked on our 5 hr+ journey. We arrived in the afternoon. Cool weather(mid 10). We stay at our friend apartment in Pudong. She stays at a prime spot in Shanghai CBD area. After the first couple of days, roaming around i realised that Shanghai is very different from the rest of China i have visited. It is much better organise and definitely on par with SIN in many areas. 14 March, we head out for a 4 days tour to Hangzhou, Suzhou and Huangshan. Wow, another experience on how China does their tour business. There is no right or wrong, just different culture different practise. Hangzhou xihu is nice. A bit too short IMO. Suzhou is fine as well. Luckily no need to visit too many of these ancient place, or else sure bored. Huangshan is beautiful. We are humble by the undulating climbs. We are not prepared for the terrain. There is patches of snow left over from the snow a few days back and Enver get to play with it on his 2nd birthday. :p We are back in Shanghai for the remaining days of the trip. We head to the bund, museum, and a couple of flee markets. It is definitely a good trip to Shanghai. Not a bad place to live and work, if you compare it to SIN. I won't mind going back again. :p
