The Messy Water

Indulge in the Metropolis of Shanghai

Shanghai is one of the fastest growing cities in the world which has a consistent and a super dupa rapid economic growth. There is a very huge gap between the "developed" and the "under-developed" within the city. You may see high rise buildings with modern structures, latest handsome Cadillac driven by young brilliant professionals crusing around, ladies with elegantly sexy and modern clothings... but within a few steps distance, a whole different view may present in the biggest contrast, homeless vagabonds sleeping on the street, old-not-so-in-one-piece bicyles carrying firewoods "cruising" on the street, with old riders in dirty old rags.

People are equally friendly and helpful here, unfortunately, the mindset of some people does not develop as fast as their economy. You can still see spitting, peeing, littering etc around the city, a mindset which belongs to few decades ago.

Shanghai Bund, also known as "Shanghai tan", remember the old movie? The full spectacular view of important landmarks in Shanghai can be captured here.

The TV Tower of Shanghai, symbol and the pride of human technology

The subway station

This is the place specially recommended my Miho, a beautiful historical town in Shanghai, Yuyuan, I love this place as much as she does! :)

Haagen-Dazs and Starbucks Coffee shop being housed within the precious historical structure, a blend of historical impression and modern business, a perfect contrast.

Cheng Huang Temple located in Yuyuan, is the "Guardian" of Shanghai. The temple was built centuries ago to protect the city, especially those fishermen in the sea.

Care to get one? Vintage or modern?

The apartment compound where i stay, I stay in a unit which costs about 1.5 million in RM. Was surprised about the price as this is one of the cheapest units around the area.

Did Proton Waja copy the design of Volkswagen or the other way round? Is Proton Waja "Volkswagen wanna-be"?

The wet market near my place, I have become an aunty nowadays as I am required to buy vegie for home cook meal, when i am a stranger, i am ok with it.

This is messy, but it is an art

There are tons of shops like this around, the signboard says "relaxation + foot bath + hair wash", there are sexy ladies sitting in the shop with the shortest skirts. "relaxation + foot bath + hair wash"? This combination tells you that it is a hooker parlor. Whenever people in Shanghai say "wash hair" or "wash foot", it is equivalent to "visit hooker parlor".

Shanghai, you will never walk alone, rememer a population of 18.7 million...
