the Gaga Got Tired in Shanghai

 

After not sleeping to get to an early flight, got stuck at the airplane as it was delayed for 2 hours, nonstop work, nightly gimiks and shopping, and after scoring the best cellphone deal for my friends, I finally felt tired while waiting for Rodney finish his last minute shopping. I wanted sooo bad to have a hot shower then sleep in my hotel. But I forced everybody to stop by at ‘THE BUND’, before heading home. I wanted to see what’s the fuss as some ppl who’s gone here and our chinese counterparts have all recommended the place.

 

It was the view of Shanghai, great architectural buildings that I think was thoroughly planned. One thing I like about this place is that almost everything is planned, buildings just don’t come nowhere, all are properly in placed. I lived in 2 extreme places, one was a semi-city while the other is really provincial. I like Cavite as I still can see trees and I like Cebu as everything is accessible, there’s always a lot of options to go if u want to have a fun night or just chill in starbucks with friends. Shanghai I think is the best of both worlds. I am amazed as to why there are still a lot of trees as everywhere I see is just pure city. BUT… for some reason I felt sooooo safe here. Being a tourist, I felt that nobody would come from behind and grab my bag. And I feel that even if the taxi driver couldn’t understand what we are saying english, tagalog or bisaya (with rodney) he’d still take us to wherever we wish to go and not worry that he’d take us somewhere dark for a hold up. After 4 days, I don’t have anything to say bad about the place, prolly because we never went to the center and see for ourselves the dirty places my counterpart mentioned. But they’ve never really gone trough the dirty places in manila or colon in Cebu. That I think is hands down dirty. Hahaha!!

 

Despite all the rush and feeling awesome as I get to come home to a really nice hotel complete with all amenities, I still can’t stop counting the days to finally get home and sleep to prolly by now a dusty bedroom.
