Shanghai
Shanghai was the first stop of my China trip where I was welcomed in the country by a friendly personnel shouting “no photo!” in the middle of a deserted airport…
The city resembles a real life “Tetris” game, with huge geometrical buildings, often built in odd shapes, some defying the laws of gravity. I walked endless distances only to cover a tiny space on my Google Map… I had a taste of an old civilisation (and I got seized an uncountable number of lighters to do that… if you have been to China you know what I mean…) and a better understanding of a new one. I heard many stories about China and after having experienced it first hand I can see how in this enormous country, the line between legend and reality is thinner than I ever thought.
