Sunny day in Shanghai


This Sunday was probably the first really sunny day here in the past 3 weeks. It’s been very smoggy and cloudy for the most part but luckily it hasn’t rained that much. So as it was such a nice day today, I decided to take the local metro and drive from our apartment to the business district in the New Pudong Area. Metro seems to be the best way to get from place A to place B here since the taxi drives can sometimes be very long due to the traffic and one metro ride costs only 3 yuan. We have also a school project about Starbucks in Shanghai and I had agreed with our group members to visit one of the company’s stores located in that area so today was a perfect opportunity to do that also.. 


















Right next to the famous Pearl Tower is a big, 6 story shopping mall called the Super Brand Mall in which all the world’s luxury brands have their stores. I just decided to walk around the mall and take a little snack at the Starbucks as planned. After that I walked around the New Pudong area enjoying the nice weather and looking at all beautiful buildings and views there. In the afternoon and early evening I went to the other side of the river to Bund. My plan was to wait until it gets dark to take some photos of Pudong as it’s pretty amazing with all of it’s lights on the skyscrapers.
