Shanghai Day one

I'm rusty. And it shows. Looking through my last pics I see better technique and ideas, oddly enough though I see more patience in these photos, like I waited for them to happen instead of rushing.

My transfer to Inchon Airport. My favourite thing was the escalators that turned on only if you stepped on them to save power.

I got some cautious eyes from the security guards for taking this one at the maglev train into Shanghai, it's the fastest in the world.

For me Shanghai was all about the food on the street.

Flavour was just good, but the chewy noodles were fantastic. Great first meal.

Other people have the same idea.

It doesn't get better than this.

One dude went crazy on the corn. He kept coming back and ordering more. He even put it on the grill himself. That's a hungry man.

Rooftop drink on the balcony of a club. We got locked out but managed to get back inside :)

YES! They have those escalators in India too! So smart! They're way more eco-friendly in the East :)
