First impressions of shanghai.

I was starving. I had had only breakfast and some water during the train trip, we agreed on a recommended LP restaurant,1221.
Result: The Best meal ever!
Crispy duck, dumplings, sweet and sour pig, eggplant with ginger, fried rice with chicken and pineapple, fried noodles and mushrooms, special rice with banana plus a few other dishes, mixed Chinese tea, served in a acrobatic manner red cabernet sauvignon/merlot for 12 eurs. It was just what i needed.

From there we moved to a bars street, and went to Zapatas,
Its a club with a with big garden outside and bar with two floors inside, there is quite a lot of expats.

It was a lot of fun, most of the songs were a bit outdated, but most of the people were having a lot of fun, I had caipirinha!!

Yes, Shanghai is a city like no other, if I thought Geneva was the babel tower, where nationalities mix, i might have to reconsider my opinion.
Shanghai has for sure the same as Geneva, embedded in the asian mix.
