Shanghai

Yes, Shanghai is for sure not China.
and, I doubt it is something from this world.

I went to the highest tower in China, third tallest in the world, oriental pearl tower.
It looks like a space rocket made of two giant pearls.
We went there at around sunset, to enjoy the night light, but when we finally got to the top it was already dark.

The view from up there?...astonishing.
Shanghai is a city with more than 18 million people. and its big!
One can see light from buildings as far as the view allows.
Around the tower there other giant buildings such as the shanghai world financial center, and a countless number of other skyscrapers.
It does't look real, maybe because of the magnitude of the whole thing. Its difficult to mentally conceive such a construction, thats why its easy to imagine it in miniature, like toys.

The buildings seem to be alive, because they are covered with lights that change colors or dynamic commercials.

Down there, is a town full of life. A friend said that it is like a fusion of oriental with occidental, maybe its true. Skyscrapers growing like mushrooms on top of old china markets, scooters, traffic, people selling all kinds of fruit, fake stuff, strange roasted animals, clothes, together with big banks, shopping centers, and the asymmetries go on and on.

I am impressed.
