Shanghai (China): Expo, friends and excellent food









I arrived on Sept 14th early in the morning after a terrible flight. No one should fly in economy class, we should all fly business. I traveled during 11 hours next to a chinese old man, with only one big yellow tooth on the below side. Very nice but a bit stinky. Anyway, the flight was ok.

Shanghai has changed so much since last time I came, 10 years ago. People are more nicer, city is cleaner and there are still more and more buildings and more and more cars.

I spent 4 days in Shanghai. I met up with my 2 cousins, Monique the Belgian one and Maly the French one. It was very nice seeing them after so long. I also met my other "yellow" friends. I met those friends 10 years ago when we studied all together in Beijing. So this time, it was a great reunion with A Vah from UK, Wayne from HK, Mike from the US, Caihong from France and Tiger from Shanghai.
All we did for 4 days was to eat, eat and eat again. Those who know me will not be surprised about that.
But food is so good in Asia, it's unbelievable. I think in Shanghai i gained about 1 kg. Good start, only after 4 days. Well, other consequences are there as well... average 4 times per day to the toilet. I love Asia!

We also went out clubbing in a very trendy club, The Muse. But immediately the moment we stepped in, we felt old, very old. Average age: 20 years old. But though we had a great time, it reminded us the old good times, when we were young and innocent...

Next stop: Taipei, Taiwan (China :o))

  1. Mais on est encore innocents, non? ("jeune", ce serait un peu poussé)... Je relis ce post une nouvelle fois - et là, où es-tu, que manges-tu (hé hé). Bisous d'ici. On pense à toi.
