你好
I have been in China for the past couple of days now... And because I'm living in an area of China that is prety suburb-y, I've managed to see the other sights of Shanghai that tourists don't see.

Who knew the parks here would be so nice and modern. Though small and all...
I hope this trip here by myself will help me gain the experience I need to springboard furthur overseas next time. Perhaps next end year I would launch another expedition, this time though, not to China.
Something I noted was of how I managed to blend it with the Shanghai people. A policeman even started talking to me in Shanghainese instead of the normal mandrian. In case you don't know, Shanghainese is like a dialect, Hokkien, Teocheow, Cantonese, etc. So I was pretty taken aback that I this guy talked to me a real native language.
But I guess in backpacking you got to try to blend in as much as possible. And soak in as much of the locals as possible. And not stick to the touristy stuff of things...
