An update

When I went to Shanghai in late March, I discovered some brands never seen in Beijing, Muji, Uniqlo, Hooters… Two months later, I was roaming around the streets and was surprised to find these logos hanging on brand new buildings. The city moves so fast, as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button.

A couple of weeks ago I went to Houhai in the evening. Hutongs, Siheyuans, pedicabs and boats seemed to have slowed the tempo of life here. If it weren’t for the rain, the sunset on Yindingqiao must be beautiful. I was thinking if I were a tourist, I would love it.
