A couple of day in Shanghai

So we are now in Shanghai, we arrived here on Friday after 12 hours on the train. The train ride was slow but not terrible. We took a night train but we didn't have a sleeper so we had to sit up all night. I also managed to get a cold on the train but it's almost over by now. So we have been here for a little more than two day now and I have to say that I like Beijing more than Shanghai but Frida likes Shanghai more. There isn't much to see here in Shanghai so we are leaving for Hong Kong on Monday. The by far the best thing we have done here in Shanghai is going up in the 492 m (1,614.2 ft) high Shanghai World Finance Center, it's the second tallest building in the world and has the highest roof of any building in the world. We could go up to three different levels. If you look at the picture below on the skyscraper you can see that there is a hole in the top of the building, one of the levels where right under the hole and the highest right above it. At the top level you could walk on glass and look straight down to the ground, it was really amazing a little scary at first but a really great experience. We went up after sunset so we could see the lights of almost the whole Shanghai and all the other skyscrapers around it looked small compared to it.
