Two weekends ago Thomas and I decided to make a last minute trip to Shanghai with another couple here to go see the World Expo before it closed down. We only had a few days to prepare for the trip but Shanghai is only an hour away by train so we weren't traveling too far.
Shanghai was extremely big and busy! But so beautiful. It didn't really seem like China. It seemed more like a European city or New York. We arrived Friday night and went straight to the Bund which is the main drag right along the river down town. We grabbed a few drinks at a restaurant located on the top of a building so we could see the entire skyline of the city. It was pretty amazing.
The next day we headed out to the World Expo in the remnants of a typhoon. It rained all day long and our pants were soaked up to our knees in water. But we braved the weather anyway. The expo is so ridiculously big; there really are no words to describe it. The pavilions were so cool. The lines were way too long and we only managed to go inside three of them but the architecture alone was worth it. After a long day of walking around in the rain, we were completely beat. Our train left early Sunday morning so Saturday night wasn't too exciting. We all went to bed pretty early. We didn't get to see hardly of the other sights in Shanghai but we live so close I have a feeling that we will be back.
Here are the few pictures we took from the weekend:
