Shanghai has never really been a city I’ve loved, but alas, it’s a place of heritage for my family. (and thus I get lots of red packets…) The city has become China’s economic and cultural centre, and recently featured in the latest Bond movie Skyfall as well as the Looper where China is the place to be come fifty or-so years… For my friend and I, this was just a five-night stop-over from Hong Kong to Japan because it was part of our flight deal. This is a brief post describing the sights we saw during our brief stay

AH, Hong Kong… The last time I was here, it was on my way to Europe, and I only had three and a half days. Didn’t realise there was so much more to this city, so I knew I had to come back sometime soon. This time, I gave myself six full days, whilst on my way to Japan, (where I’m writing this post from) which of course was still not enough time to explore such a large and vibrant city! (because I’m behind, this’ll be a bit of a photodump of things I found significant during my visit…) 
First of all, since this is post is being written on Christmas Day, I hope you’re all having/had a Merry Christmas! Now, my older sister’s in the South Australian city of Adelaide for a while for work, and so I thought I’d bay a quick visit since I’ve never been there before, so I flew over there to stay a night. See what Australia’s 5th most populated city has to offer. (Forgive me if this post is a little unstructured…) Catching up on my Europe Posts… A bit of a chore to be honest… But being there three weeks ago means it’s still somewhat fresh but clearly beginning to miss a few bits and pieces… To think tht just three weeks ago, I had some beautifully crisp weather with an unseasonably warm 5-15 degrees depending on where I was. And just a week after leaving, it plummets and transforms the place into a winter nightmare. And it forces the closure of a number of ancient attractions… After a week in Paris with my New Years Eve comrades, it was time to part ways, some for Germany, others for various other parts of France. For me, it was off to the Benelux region, (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxombourg, but no Luxombourg…) |
