Shanghai Nights - ネオンの輝く上海の夜

Meet the Jetson's in Shanghai... a TV tower that eats Tokyo Towers for breakfast, and I suspect is linked up to some inter-stellar communication network, or maybe can be used if we need to but up an artificial atmosphere on some other planet. Communistic Retro-Futurism; I hope it is a genre, if not, it most definitely should be! 


On my knees at Grand Hyatt's parking lot - to capture vertical and horizontal stripes. Boy in Blue. 


And for second year in a row, my b-day was celebrated at a Hyatt hotel - 86th floor this time. 


Both food and service was okay - not Japanese OK, but OK for China/Sweden. Roasted baby potatoes with Norwegian salmon. 


I'm almost sure a neon lit up skyline of the Pudong is mandatory. Did not bring the good camera so, grainy iphone-experia it is...


Huangpu is doing a "the river runs through it" on Shanghai. You can take the subway underneath, you can go on one of the river boats, or you can enjoy the Shanghai Sightseeing tunnel... 3 times... 


After b-day dinner and drinks, Chinese karaoke; better artist selection but worst song selection. Better UI, good with original videos... worse size of beer pitcher. 


And walking home at 12 midnight, looking for a bar... finding only Massage places... suspecting that SH goes to bed early... Shanghai is apparently not a city that never sleeps (although lady CC says it is possible to rock the night away :)).
