Shanghai

We were halfway through our trip when I was dying of exhaustion. There was another fair to attend and many companies to be interviewed. Had I not made a vitamin store of fresh fruits and vegetables, I would have already met a hospital in China. It is possible to see that industrialization started later than Europe with fresh vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately, we have to buy more natural foods almost 3-4 times in developed countries. Without further ado, let’s hit the Shanghai road. The distance between Hangzhou and Shanghai takes 2.5-3 hours by car. I asked, I inquired, it was best to go by train. We also jumped on the high-speed train and made a beautiful, scenic journey for 1 hour 18 minutes in the most luxurious compartment at a cost of 7-8 dollars. While we were carrying our luggage from the 40-step ladder to the train, all the tourists had the same painful expression on their faces, “Why did I bring these now?” Because our little Chinese brothers were continuing to travel the world with a handbag. More tragic was not finding the ticket office. At the end, a policeman who spoke some English helped me and I was able to buy tickets.

It has beautiful trains and has the largest vehicle toilet I’ve ever seen in my life. Contrary to the cleanliness prejudice in Eastern cultures, it is a very clean country. I did not see any rubbish on the floor, nor did people disrespectfully throw garbage on the street. We dropped the hard-to-trouble suitcases from 30-40 steps to the train and settled on the train. We traveled for 1 hour and 18 minutes, accompanied by a visual feast of greenery and tiny streams, and reached Shanghai. I don’t know whether it is because I don’t have much energy left or because I love its atmosphere from the first moment, this city did not affect me much. For some reason there was a New York air, it felt very dirty, confused and a little dark to me. Our hotel is right in the heart of the city and in front of us the famous People Square. After walking a few streets, I had the opportunity to go down to the river and watch the evening illuminated scenery and the iconic television building of the city. People Square is such a place that it is as if the old Bazaar store in Ankara Kızılay; everyone meets here. They make a fountain show with music every now and then. I took the chance three times, each time another attraction In the evening, we tried to relieve the fatigue of the day in the colorful bazaars. It takes at least a month to visit this place. Nanjing Road and the colorful illuminated streets, whose name I have forgotten, are like New York Time Square. Evening cruises by the river are just like Istanbul nights. My favorite cities definitely have an extension to the sea or a pond. Flowing over the water with medium music while the Nile is flowing softly, breathing the beautiful Bosphorus air between Anatolia and Europe in Istanbul, riding a bicycle along the Pearl River, watching architectural works in Chicago despite the wind and, of course, having a show in Shanghai at the darkest and most colorful moment of the night. , all of life’s best flavors.
