The bund
The TV tower of Shanghai.(For the english version scroll halfway down)
Saa fik vi set "The bund", det var da flot, men ikke noget ekstraordinaert !
Bagefter var vi paa en farbrik der lavede silketaepper, der fik vi rigtig et indtryk af hvilket enormt arbejde der ligger i saadan et taeppe, op mod et aar for et paa stoerelse med et stort haandklaede !
Derefter var vi i Shanghai's botaniske have, i afdelingen for bonsai traer (som det viser sig blev opfundet her i Kina for godt 7000 aar siden !).
Det var flot, men siger mig ikke saa meget.
Efter aftensmaden var vi i cirkus, og saa de beroemte kinesiske akrobater.
Forestillingen var fantastisk, og jeg vil ikke begynde at beskrive den, da det ikke vil kunne formidle oplevelsen forestillingen.
Paa vejen hjem var vi 4 der steg vi af bussen ved "The bund" og gik hjem til hotellet, og nu var det en enorm oplevelse !
Efter en del faren vild, bad vi en taxi koere os hjem, men vi fik da Shanghai set by night ;o)
Vores guide sagde at vi skulle vaere glade, pga. typhoonen er her ret koeligt i oejeblikket, kun
Chinese acrobats
Unfortunatly an image does not contain the atmosphere of exitement and awe. 29 grader i skyggen, normalt er her 35 - 38 !
Jeg har taget over 250 billeder, saa der bliver nok at se paa.
Jeg logger af for denne gang.

Today we succeded in visiting
The bund, it was nice, but nothing extraordinary !
Afterwards we visited a factory producing silk carpets. Here we realy got an impression of what enormous work lays behind these carpets, it could take over one year to produce a carpet of 1 square meter (of the higest quality) !
After the factory we visited the botanical garden of Shanghai, in particular the department for bonsai trees (it seemes they were invented here in China for over 7000 years ago).
It was impressive, but after a couple of hundred trees, they tends to look much alike.
After our evening meal, we attended a show with the famous Chinese acrobates.
It was a fantastic show, and I will not try to describe it, as it will be impossible, you just have to experience it.
On the way home, we were four who decided to dismount the bus by the bund, and
The bund by night
The bund was nice by day, but by night is it impressive. walk home to our hotel, and now (in the dark) the bund was worth the visit !
Of course we got lost on our way home to the hotel, and even though we had the card from the hotel, no one was able to tell us how to get there. People was friendly and helpfull, but we didn't understand them and they didn't understand us !
At last we hailed a taxi, and got home, but we got to see Shanghai by night ;o)
Our guide has told us, the weather would be rather cool because of the typhoon, the day temperature was around 29 degrees celsius whereas they normally would have around 35 to 38 degrees C.
I have taken over 250 images by now, so there will be much to look at when I get home.
I'm logging off for now.
