Of bridges and canals

On our last day in China, my request to visit a place

just outside of Shanghai came true.

They called it Venice of Asia, 'cause like in Venice

they have boats and canals that serve as a transportation

as well as tourist attraction.

They also have beautiful bridges that has an aura of

being romantic and dream like.

This is Zhuojijao, an hour bus ride from Shanghai.

Shanghai Surprise

I remember, we went out of the Shanghai Airport

and it was too early and too dark to even see the surroundings.

After checking in and signing all the papers

for our stay at Captain's Hostel, I immediately went straight to

my room and rest.

The next morning I saw this view from

my room. Hello Shanghai!

Beijing Sunset

We were about to explore the market place in Beijing.

We just got out of the super crowded train of the city.

Seeing the sunset for the first time in Beijing is like

a breathe of fresh air, though is it just me

or am I seeing Smog?
