Our flight from Bangkok arrived in Shanghai around 7am and my next flight wasnt until 6pm. I was desperately hoping that immigration would allow me to leave the airport and check out the city, and for some crazy reason I was able to. Not caring to much as to why I made my way into the city. I had no clue what to do so asked a tourist info lady and she gave me a lovely map and circled cool things.
I rode the subway into the city and must say that I was really surprised with how industrialized and modern Shanghai is. I mean I wasnt expecting like a 3rd world country, but Shangahi reminded me of any modern major metropolitan city I had been to. To say the least it wasnt what I was expecting. Now im sure there are waaaaaaaay more places in China that resemble 3rd world countries, however, Shanghai is not one of those. It really was an amazing city with many amazing landmarks to see.
I made it back to the airport with plenty of time and finally arrived at my apartment in Korea around 10pm that night. My Thailand trip was really long and amazing and will surely be something that I never forget.
