Yes my dear friends, we've had an exclusive weekend... Saturday afternoon, we packed our bags and took the plane to Shanghai, the most crazy city we've ever seen. With the help of some pictures I will try to explain you how wonderfull this city is and what a great time we spend with our lovely friends.

Take a good look at this picture... indeed! Steak with frieten and ketchup! This was like an ultimate dream! When we arrived at the hotel and met our friends, we freshed up and went in a straight line to the best steakhouse. we're really getting hungry when we see this picture...

After our perfect dinner in a very underworld restaurant (people included...), we searched for a nice club to shake our asses, after a trip through the city, we landed in 'Bon Bon', very wrong and crazy, but we come from Belgium! don't we!? - had great fun!

The next day, we planned a big trip, crossing the city. We walked through the largest shopping streets and felt like little bugs in a black crowd...

Lot's of people on the streets, and the heat was pressing upon our heads. The smell of the city was very typical, almost taking your own breathe away.

Nanjing Lu shopping street. From every corner of the street, people came to us, trying to sell us some 'fake articles' - amazing what you can find here. Offcourse we bought nothing, we prefere a real rolex. hm hm. it's true. hm hm. Don't you doubt about this! hm hm.

After a long walk and an amazing breakfast with boterkoeken and a potje koffie, we finally reached 'The Bund', amazing. The wetter was ok, so we had a stunning view among The Bund and a beautiful sight over Pudong, where the largest buildings in the world are holding their breath for a massive smog.
yes yes, this is the proove we've been there! It was very crowdy, and the chinese people couldn't believe their eyes when they saw 6 european people walking around on the Bund. People came to us and took pictures. We could be rich now! 50 RMB for 1 photo! off we go!

Our guide Mathieu was very occupied. He leaded us through the city like we were little sheeps. We saw a lot on 1 day and payed less than we normally should for some nice stuff!

From hyper-modern to very typical... We made a nice tour, filled with lot's of shops and perfect photo-spots, we had so much fun!

After visiting this Beautifull neighbourhood, we decided to take a taxi to Pudong... one hell of a ride! lost my patience, not very clever is a city like Shanghai! In pudong we took an elevator, 88 floors high in about 15 seconds.

The view over the city was faboulous, the Jinmao Tower was the second highest skyscraper in the world, and everything became so little...

We ate a delicious pasta carbonara and took a taxi to the airport... back to Xiamen!

It was an amazing weekend, i can't describe this in only a few sentences. These times in Xiamen and Shanghai are experiences you will remember your whole life, and we're totally aware of this.

Shanghai makes you wonder how small we are, how big the world can be...

Kisses,

The Xiamen girl power team!
