Zac in Shanghai
Shanghai with the Metro, Maglev, and train system makes it an easy city to get around. It reminded Zac a lot of New York City except that he said the Metro was easier to figure out than the NYC subway system. We stayed in a really cool apartment/hotel that was reasonably priced and within walking distance of almost everything we wanted to see.
We did the Shanghai Museum and Shanghai Art Museum. Both of these buildings plus the theater are located on the People’s Square, which used to be the old Shanghai Race course during the times when there were large British, American and French concessions in the mid 1800’s. Besides the very interesting architecture Shanghai really does have a unique and very interesting history and one of the best museums I have ever been to.
