Nice weekend at Shanghai!

Ni hao!

I was looking forward writing here because I have passed a very good time this weekend and I wanted to share it with you! Well, Let’s go!

Friday night, we went out to a disco called “No 88 Club”. At the disco it was one of the unique places where I could see Chinese people behaving like Europeans because they were enjoying dancing and speaking among themselves and with us. I think, that night was a bit different for these people because that night there were “fish eyed guys” (they call us like this) dancing at the disco with them and I felt they were completely satisfied.

The next day started soon and some classmates and I decided to go to know one of the most original street market of Shanghai situated in Qibao Old Street. We could see some souvenir shops, strange food shops (they were selling little birds, turtles, some insects and so on) and animal shops, all of them built based on the traditional Chinese architecture. I felt when I was there, we were in the purest heart of the old China.

After that, we went to Shanghai World Financial Centre. Nowadays, this skyscraper is the fifth highest construction in the world, the highest building of China and the tallest visitable platform in the world. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever lived. People who were walking down the street look like ants and from this height you could realize the hugeness of this great city.

Finally, the day finished coming back in order to eat a tasty pizza in an Italian restaurant closed to the hotel and having a great rest until the next day.

Sunday also started soon as we had to go to Hangzhou, a city located near of Shanghai (just one hour by bus) where we were going to see a big lake and Buddhist temple. First, we were at the lake sailing in a little ship rounded it and seeing a lot of old and beautiful Chinese buildings. During the trip, I could feel the calmness and peace, which that place, could offer us. Then, we went to the Buddhist temple. It was incredible because we had the chance of seeing a Buddhist ceremony, which it said, gives you good luck. Finally, before of come back to Shanghai again, we stopped in a small neighbourhood of Hangzhou where it was the oldest chemist of China.

This weekend has been very special and amazing but tomorrow morning we have to start again new lectures about how to do business in China and we are going to have the best visit of the trip, Shanghai VolksWagen, so I have to go bed and have a long rest!

I hope I can write my last post before coming back to Spain!
