Day 42, Shanghai, baby!

This was the city I wanted to see most of the other cities or places in China, partly because of "The Shanghai Kiss" movie, partly because I don't know what, but I always wanted to see it! We arrived there by the night train and in few minutes after arrival to the hostel we met George and Lee who arrived there by another night train.
The walking street from which the picture was taken from was a very long and full of street sellers coming to you and offering their goods. The Rolex watch was offered first for 100 Yuan, which is less than 10 Euros, then after a while for the same price you already could get 2 Rolex watches, then 3, and finally 5 of them! A very good deal, isn't it?

We saw several guys riding roller skates and selling them right away. They looked so cool and fast that we decided to get it for ourselves to look cool and move faster in Shanghai. It didn't help us much to move faster, but it was quite fun to ride them in general.

Quite an interesting zigzag-form bridge they have in downtown of Shanghai

While in Europe having tanned skin is considered to be sexy, in China for instance, this absolutely is not the case. Most of Chinese girls consider tanned skin as something completely unattractive and carry umbrellas with them all the time to avoid sun.

JinMao is the tallest building in China and 5-th tallest building in the world. I must say this partly is not true, because just right next JinMao there is a new almost constructed building that is already higher than JinMao.
