Ni hao!
Jag skriver fran orientens perla,Shanghai! Spenderat tre dagar i Shanghai redan och wow vilken stad! Tog taget fran Hong Kong till Shanghai och redan dar fick jag kanna pa den kinesiska kulturen. Som att det ar okej att smaska nar man ater, prata med mat i mun, rapa och fisa vart man vill samt att det ar helt okej att snyta sig offentligt utan nasduk. Man vanjer sig efter ett tag fast i borjan va det lite jobbigt. Nar jag kom ut fran tagstationen sa mottes jag av en mur av manniskor... Kina ar verkligen det land med mest befolkning i och det marks. Man ser och kanner av att det ar ett kommunistiskt land ocksa vilket ar intressant. Allt ar ordnat och strukturerat, alltid rena gator med en polis pa nastan varje gata.
Shanghai ar en valdigt intressant stad, det ar alltid gratt har. Just nu ar det kallt, 5-10 grader. Det ar en blandning av gamla europeiska byggnader med hypermoderna nya byggnader och jag gillar den kontrasten. Det ger en skon blandning. Det ar en enorm stad med nastan 20miljoner invanare tror jag och himlen ar alltid upplyst av alla dessa skyskrapor har.
Jag har hunnit med att besoka "The Bund" (sok pa google) som ar det alla maste se i Shanghai. En panorama vy over alla skyskrapor som dykt upp de senaste 15 aren i Kinas finansiella hjarta. Sedan hade jag en regnig dag da jag inte gjorde nagot speciellt forutom att aka tunnelbana till olika platser i Shanghai och ga runt lite. Samt besoka nagra kopcentrum eftersom Shanghai ar Kinas shopping stad.
Idag hann jag med att besoka Shanghai museum som har massa intressant kinesisk historia. Allt fran de forsta keramik och porslin vaserna till olika kungars mobler. Hojdpunkten va nar jag sag ett mynt med Alexander den stores ansikte pa som de hittat har i Kina langs "The Silk road" som va en koppling mellan europa och asien. Efter museet besokte jag en utstallning om hur de planerar att forma framtida Shanghai och svaret ar ja, mer skyskrapor. Jag tog mig over floden for att besoka alla dessa skyskrapor och Kinas finansiella hjarta. Idag hann jag med att besoka en skyskrapa, tv tornet. Ser ut som en lang nal med parlor pa. Vilken utsikt det va! Jag fick ta mig till 296m hojd, de sista 130m va avstagnda for turister just nu. En riktigt fin utsikt over graa Shanghai. Imorgon ska jag ta mig dit igen fast besoka Kinas an sa lange hogsta byggnad, de bygger den hogsta bredvid.
Jag skriver imorgon igen! och oversatter denna text till engelska, for trott just nu... Hors snart igen! go natt

Ni hao!
I'm writing from the pearl of the orient, Shanghai! I spent a couple of days here already and wow what a city! I took the train from Hong Kong to Shanghai, a 21h journey. On the train I got a taste of what was to come in China, it's a different culture. For example it is okey to chew with a open mouth, make sounds while you eat, burb and fart when and where ever you want to and to blow your nose without paper in the middle of the street is also ok. They also have no respect for personal space, maybe not so strange after all, 1,3billion people...

The first thing that meet me outside the station was litteraly a wall of people once again, 1.3 billion people... You can also see and sense that it is still a comunist country wich is intresting. Everything is structured, always clean streets and a police man on almost every corner.
Shanghai is a very interesting city, always a grey fog over the city and now it's quite cold 5-10degrees. The city is a mixture of old europeen buildings and new hyper modern skyscrapers. I like this mixture of buildings. It's a giant city with some where around 20million people and the sky is always lit up of all the skyscrapers.

During my days here I have visited "the Bund" (search on google) wich is a must see in Shanghai. A panorama view of all the skyscrapers that rise up from Chinas economic heart. Then there was a rainy day that I realy didn't do anything special, just took the subway to a couple of places around Shanghai and walked around for a little bit and visited some shopping malls becouse Shanghai is Chinas shopping city nr.1.
Yesterday a visited the Shanghai museum wich was realy intresting. There was a lot of chinees history to see, from the first pottery/porclein vases to a collection of old kings furniture. The highlight of the visit was when a saw a coin with Alexander the great face on it wich they found along the "silk road" between Europe and Asia.
After this a visited the exhibition hall wich show the future of Shanghai and the answer is yes, more skyscrapers..
I got across the river to visit all these skyscrapers and the financial heartbeat of China called Pudong. I visited the "Pearl tower" wich is close to 400m high but I only got to 296m this time, the tower is formed like a couple of pearls.
Today I visited the Shanghai Finacial Tower wich is the highest tower in Asia! What a view from up there! Grey as far as the eye could see... No, it was amazing! I got to 474m up in the sky and it was a realy amazing view. Great fun!

Tomorrow I will visit some gardens outside Shanghai and after that I will take a nighttrain to Beijing. We will see how I can get to India from there becouse the chinees goverment has closed Tibet for foreigners the time I was planing to go there so we will see... I'll write from Beijing again! Take care! CAO
