Sayin Hi, from Shanghai!
Now on my third city stop in my China trip, Shanghai. What an amazing city with the friendliest people in the world. I can’t say enough about the gracious hospitality the
people have been. Shanghai is a bustling city with the contrast of old world merchant shops and a futuristic skyline sitting beside each other in this city of 20 million. I have chosen to explore off the beaten path excursions on foot finding more than I hoped for. Shanghai is filled with mom and pop merchant shops selling anything from hose fittings to high end spice grinders. The variety is overwhelming. Bargaining face to face with merchants is a lost experience in our daily lives these days. Walking into shops such as the ones encountered here have brought back that personal experience of passing goods from one to another via a “deal”. Such a great personal experience.
