Shanghai Days


Was able to go to Shanghai two times... One for a long due diligence review and another time for a few days of meeting... The first time, I was practically left here to finish some unresolvable work so was able to explore the place... and learn to use chop sticks in the process... The second was more to appreciate the view of the Bund and the TV tower...

Shanghai is the business center of China... and it has several places to visit... The TV Tower, which the 3rd tallest tower in the world... the nice night view of the well-lighted The Bund area... Street Shopping at Nanjing Road... The different temples and garden... The night life in Xintiandi... The People's square...

It's not as easy to navigate the place but if you can have a colleague base their to provide all the Chinese translations of your destinations then you're all set and can travel via cab... Then there's also an established MRT system, a ferry system and also a high speed rail all the way to the airport...
