Shanghai is my first destination of China. I quickly learned that while taking a tour is ok for a foreignor, I could have and should have visited the country by myself. I'd realize that the best time of the trip was when I struck out on my own. I walked the streets of Shanghai the first night I got there - armed with a map (and a compass in my pocket just in case) and my curiosity. I quickly got over my unfamiliarity, uncertain, and fears... I'd see both the glizzy and the poor sides of Shanghai. Food ranged from $100+ in the trendy sections near the French Quarters and the Bund to $6 noodle bowls in the alley streets. In one of the alley ways, I saw people living in dingy small places - places without indoor plumbing as evidenced by the public (and not so clean) restrooms and showers. |
