story of shanghai



During winter, you must wear a hat! Keeping ur head warm is a must because when u enter and exit from a building, the temperature changes drastically, which might cause headaches. I always thought that my hair was thick enough to keep my head warm, but well.. i was wroooong... I bought this hat right after my 2nd headache.



my new hat!

liuli art museum in d morning, totally different rite??



Photobucket
the wall is made from liu li, flower from aluminui steel.



Cameras were not allowed in the galleries. -_-" The only place where I can take picture to show the concept of this museum is the washroom and staircases. =S


Photobucket
the toilet's wall



Their main material is liuli, it's like a kind of glass, and somehow a picture was etched in the glass. And they use the concept of illusion and reflection for most of their exhibition.


Photobucket
the basin is made from liu li too, so are the taps.

around 4pm when the skies are getting dark



After the museum trip, we went to 新天地 (xin tian di) just opposite the museum. Considered as the hottest new entertainment district in Shanghai. It has the city's finest clubs, restaurants and boutiques. I took the longest time to write this post, because I reeeeally really really love xin tian di. And I'm figuring how to write so i can let you guys understand why i love this place so much. =P

xin tian di is surrounded by normal shoplots, so if people just passed by, the won't know that there's a gem behind these buildings.

To me, this place is like when d east meets west. There are Italian cafes, German cuisine, western-styled bars and so on. It's like stepping into a foreign place, but they still manage to have elements of east, which suddenly pulls you back to the realization that you're still in Shanghai.
