It was about time I relaxed in my China trip. Most of the time, I was rushing from one place to another. This is almost the end of my trip and it was about time I went on a real vacation. I finally got a bottom bunk at the Shanghai Captain International Youth Hostel and it was a very comfortable night’s sleep. It was quite surreal to hear the regular chiming of the clock just around the corner. No wonder, it was already morning. A quick bath at the basic shared bathroom and I was out again. This time I don’t have a real plan in mind and I just want to walk around.
The best place to walk around Shanghai would be the Bund. It was early morning but there were already quite a few people here walking about. Most of them were joggers and just people doing their stretching. It won’t get busy here at the Bund for a while and it was interesting to watch how the people go about their lives. The morning mist was quite thick and I made it difficult to see what was on the opposite side of the Huangpu River. Even some buildings along the Bund itself were difficult to see. I just hope the mist lifts as the day progresses.
