here i am in china...incredible..i never really thought of visiting this country before my dad told me that he was going to move there...

got picked up and in the afternoon i already went to visit the gardens in town center..a direct dive into chinese culture...

there were both my parents, my bro and my cousin and then paolo, my flatmate, with his whole family.

jump in town and then at the fake market to buy some tees...incredible how they stop you all the time trying to seel you whatever...strange experience...and moreover how u can bargain with them...gotta learn how to though...never paymore than 1/3 of the price they ask.

first chinese food, i was so tired that i couldn't eat and later digest it...and dammit...i didn't even sleep on a bed, because they were all busy and had to arrange something with some pillows....damn! at my dad's house!

day after early wake...i think i'll have troubles while staying with the company i'm travelling with...

well anyways we off to where we visit a temple and then a silk factory...getting into the chinese world finally...it's so fascinating...and different from what i'm used to.

back in shanghai...and i call up a chinese friend i met through hospitalityclub...yun...we arrange to meet in front of my dad's building and off we go to a pub...

similar to western ones though..also in the prices...not good...

then after a while talking with her...and with my mates we head to another place...a club...cool thing is packed up with only chinese ppl!this is what i wanted...anywyas we stat drinking and dancing...i had a lot of fun that evening...they even played an italian song...crazy kids
