Saturday after lunch one of Toni's partners brought us to downtown Shanghai were we went into one of the biggest gadget buildings: three floors with mobile phones, cameras, games, ... .
One hour later we went to our hotel and we were amased when we saw a picture of a naked woman in our room. Wrong hotel? Nope, the right one.
While Laurent and Mathieu discovered beautiful places in Shanghai, Alex and Anne-Sophie went to the 3the floor of the hotel for a massage. WOW this is how a chinese massage works: they take you to a little room were shoes and clothes are lying everywhere. They drop you on the bed and start to give you a massage with your clothes on!! Although it hurted sometimes, we enjoyed our 40 minutes long massage in the little room.
After Paulien and Evelyn arrived we went to the western area of Shanghai and enjoyed our great dinner with french fries in the Moon's Steakhouse, which is situated in one of the most trendy spot in town! Later in the evening we went to the bonbon club (echt een foute club). The entrance was 12 euros, but drinks were for free. We couldn't get a seat and had to dance all night long because sits were NOT for free!
Next morning, after visiting People's Square, we had a nice breakfast at Costa Coffee in the Nanjing Pedestrian Road, the most commercially prosperous road in China which has a length of 1033 meters. While we were looking around we were constantelly "attacked" by "salesmen", very local salesman. We bought some watches, shoes and wallets in stores situated in little lanes and selling fake stuff. Later we made a walk on the Bund.

Great view on the "tv tower" and other skyscrapers! After we ate a cheap McDo we visited the Yu Garden, a typical chinese spot. The contrast between old and new, poor and rich was breathtaking!
A taxi brought us to Pudong and we visited the 4the highest tower in the world: JinmaoTower. There was a lot of smog, but beside that it was a great view. After eating pasta Paulien and Evelyn went to the aeroport.
So ended our lovely trip in Shanghai.
Greets,
The Shanghai team
