Hello, Shanghai.

It was on my "Before I leave Asia..." Buck List, and over the Qing Ming (Tomb Sweeping) Holiday at the beginning of April, I was able to cross it off: Visit Shanghai

It's called the Paris of Asia, and while I have yet to visit Paris I can see why they say that. Sleek skyscrapers,  the quaint French concession, and shopping galore. I am not sure if Shanghai is really as fabulous as I have decided it is or if my high opinion is all do to the fact that I just really needed a break from my corner of the world. Either way, it was a wonderful weekend trip. Good friends, good food, and good sights!
