Hello hello hello…. Its me Justin blogging all the way from Shanghai. Tonight I’m just gonna lay out the facts that I’ve learned about this place.

Cars are left-hand drive. Just like USA. Ironic, if you ask me. But yeah, I learned that the moment I stepped out of the airport.
The bathrooms are also left-hand drive. The flush handle of the toilet is on the left side, the faucet knobs turn clockwise to turn on. And the worst part is the shower knobs turn the opposite way. So its doubly confusing.
There is a LOT of people here. In one minor street alone you can already find a hundred people. My dad says its the entire Malaysian population fit into a single city: Shanghai. I haven’t verified that fact but I believe him.
The subways are underground.
The food is here is pretty oily. You can put on a few pounds simply by eating the local delics next door. Oh, and the Peking duck in the Grapery Restaurant consists only of duck skin, prawn crackers, sauce and varnish. (Whats missing? The meat, dumbass)
The sun sets a little earlier. Its autumn now so it gets sunny up till only 3-4pm. Then its nice and windy.
The rent for apartments in the city center is DEAD COSTLY.
Pirated/imitation stuff is cheap and has a little more quality than in Malaysia. They know how to pirate things well. Apparel, DVDs, stuff.
There are more Western brands found here than in KL. Especially apparel. If you want to shop for clothing here you’d drop dead before you glancing at every single shop available. Of course, that includes imitations.
There are ads everywhere, like I mentioned in Part 1. TV screens outside the lifts, inside the lifts, inside the subway trains, inside taxi cabs, everywhere.
People here like Ikea.
For some reason, of all non-Chinese restaurants, I see more Italian food (ie Pizza). Not just Pizza Hut.
Starbucks. Everywhere.
Just because the pedestrian light is green doesnt mean you’re safe.
There are phone booths with doors. Superman must be nearby.
Some roads here are pretty long; the sign posts tell you which way is East, West, etc.

Thats all I can dish out for now. Pooped out. Till next time..
