A sprawling city working very hard to push into 2010 as an important part of modern China, Shanghai certainly is a worthy stop on a trip to China and an exciting way for me to finish off 2009 both work related and as a tourist. I was working for a private client but had plenty of time to myself. It was my first time to China and was a good introduction to China.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With Shanghai being as modern as any other city, it’s left me wanting to go out there again to see Beijing, Xian, the other Provinces, the Wall etc… what I would’ve classed as “real China”, the China I learned about growing up. The China that captivated my generation through the movies it produced, that motivated my dad when he was young to learn Chinese, martial arts and become a Kung Fu master (a title he doesn’t personally use though. His students call him Sifu Leung)… anyway, that’s the china I still have to see more of but for now.. Shanghai was a good experience. Plus while they have WuShu Master on regular tv… what do we get here in the UK? Total Wipeout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Yes it was busy, cold (but not as cold as home!), and I fell and fractured my hand but it was a place full of sights, interesting people, very cheap and very wholesome food and tea, tea, tea… love it. 12 hours on a plane and 8 hour time differences I could do without though!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here are a few cool shots, taken with a point and shoot (canon g10):<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Entering Shanghai the fastest way possible (on land).. The Maglev at 430km\/h (hence it’s a bit shaky)\"Photobucket\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I had planned to do a 2009 wrap up post while I was out there but hadn’t figured on blogspot being a banned website over there so I haven’t been able to access my own blog, facebook, twitter etc while I was there! So I’ll do that very soon! It’s been a year of extremes… And I think it’d be good to put it into words, and images where possible… So, see you next year!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Evidently a repost from my old blog, don’t panic\u2026 i’m not in china.<\/p>\n

Now you can get the Canon G16 (yes\u2026 it’s been updated that many times since!)<\/p>\n
