Last week in Shanghai

My stay in Shanghai is over now. I can’t believe that eight months have gone by that fast. Here are some pictures of my last week in this great city…

Pascal, Andi, Tobi and Sven (f.l.t.r.) before eating hot dogs at a well-known Swedish furniture store. One hot dog cost about 0,30€!



My farewell dinner took place at a Sichuan restaurant very close to our apartment. Sven, Pascal, Flo and Andi (f.l.t.r.) were there with me.


Afterwards we went to a bar on the 33rd floor of the Hyatt on the Bund Hotel. They have got a Jacuzzi on the rooftop and there is an amazing view of Shanghai’s skyline. Some friends from Beijing and Shanghai had come to celebrate with me one last time.



On my last day I went to the Formula 1 race. It was quite an experience and I enjoyed it very much!


IN: You - thanks for reading my blog!
OUT: The ash cloud above Europe which was the reason why my flight back home was cancelled and I had to stay for another week.

China impressions

During the past months I have seen many places, met a lot of people and experienced a bunch of unusual situations. Here are some pictures which I found most impressing, odd, funny, typically Chinese, etc...Here are some random pictures:




While I was taking a few pictures one evening, this poor homeless guy grabbed my beer, took a mouthful and then returned it to me.

This plastic bag is interesting. You may use it in a restaurant during dinner so your phone can lie on the table without getting spilled on – very convenient :)
