Finally got around writing the part two from my small trip to Shanghai. The first part you can find here. 


On the third day of being in Shanghai, I got to sleep quite long. And that made me so much more happier.  Because we didn't have that much planned we just decided to go shopping. My goal was to find a backbag and a winter jacket. Well.. I didn't find either one of those. Did I find anything else? Nope. And why is that? Because I thought that I had no money left, but on my last day it turned out that I had completely forgotten about the money I exchanged beforehand in Korea.. You should've seen how pissed I was at my own stupidity..


On the fourth day, we got some breakfast at the hotel (best breakfast I've had in a while) and headed out. Truthfully I wasn't quite sure what our destination was, since my friend had planned everything out. When we arrived at the subway station we started having a bit of a problems of finding how to get to the destination: China Art Museum.
After wandering around in a shopping mall looking for a way out for almost an hour, we found our way out and towards the art museum. There was no entrance fee which was awesome, since I still thought at that point that I had no money..


After the museum we decided to jump into one of those tourist buses. It cost us 40 RMB (~5 €) which was really cheap to me. We got to see quite a lot and in the end we ended up taking two different tours that were both included into the price. But we kind of realized too late that we were nowhere near Shanghai Tower where we were planning on going to next. So we jumped off the bus and started looking for a subway to get to our destination. It took us a while.. And when we finally found the subway and got to the Shanghai Tower it was already dark.



Our first plan was to arrive just before sunset so we would get to see the sunset, but since we got lost earlier we were a bit late. But the night view is not that bad either. There were so many lights and seeing Shanghai from waaaay up high made me realize how big of a place Shanghai actually is. The Shanghai Tower is world's second highest building and I'm so happy we went to see it. I definitely recommend going there when visiting Shanghai. My friend told me that the better known Pearl Tower was apparently not worth the money but I don't really know about that since I didn't go to Pearl Tower.
After spending few hours at the Shanghai Tower we decided to head back to the hotel since I had to wake up quite early the next morning for my flight back to dear Seoul.

Oopsiedaisie, almost a month went by without a single new post. Well, let's just say that life has been kinda busy. But yeah, let's get into the post now without further ado.
I went to Shanghai last Thursday for 5 days to see my friend, who is there as an exchange student for a semester, and came back this Monday. It was really interesting to get to see a completely different culture from what I've gotten used to here in Korea. Sometimes I was really confused, because I'm already used to Korean culture and their manners. I've divided my Shanghai trip to two different parts, because I feel like it would be waaaay too long as a one post.

I learned how to make gifs so I turned my snapchat story from Thursday into one, just for the heck of it.

On Thursday when I arrived my friend came to get me from the airport and had to wait for me an hour longer than expected because the lines in the customs were so fricking long. I couldn't reach her in any way because my Korean phone didn't work and my Finnish phone refused to send her text messages for some reason.. And of course the wifi at the airport only worked if you had a Chinese phone number. Not such a good start to the trip, to be quite honest :'D.
When I finally got through customs and got my luggage my friend guided me through subway to the subway station near the hotel. Well... Apparently there's two same hotels with a same name :''D. And of course we ended up going to the wrong one.. Thankfully the "wrong" hotel called us a taxi and we finally got to the right hotel, which wasn't that far away thankfully. After getting my stuff to the hotel we just went to eat and after that straight to bed because by that point I was already exhausted.

On the second day we headed to one of the most magical places on earth, DISNEYLAND!! I've never been to Disneyland before so I was really excited about it. Even though we arrived quite early there was already a lot people queing up for the rides. We had to queue for each ride at least 40 minutes.. And I'm not a really patient person.. But we survived and got into at least the most popular rides. My favorite one was definitely the Tron one and in the end we ended up going to that one twice. We left quite early because I was already sick with the flu when we came there and by the end of the evening I started to feel even more sicker. So it was better to leave early than stay longer and to get sicker.
