Shanghai

We arrived to Shanghai the 2nd of June after 22 hours on the train, the first thing we did was to meet Qin, Markus's friend from Madrid, a chinese man who were studing spanish last year in Spain.
Shanghai have enormous skyscrapers. The first afternoon we went to see the skyline at night time, amazing, and we also went for a walk in the shopping street.
Next day we went to the old town to eat a properly chinese meal, I also went in to a 400 years old garden, we had a great time, the only bad thing was that I got food poisoned and it was pretty hard to buy the medication because we are tourists, anyway, at night time we went up to the tallest building in China, the Jinmao Tower 430m high.
The next morning we visited Shanghai museum and we took the night train to Xi'an.
Llegamos a Shanghai el 2 de Junio despues de 22 horas de tren, lo primero que hicimos fue ver a Qin, un amigo de Markus de Madrid, es una chico chino que estubo estudiando espaniol el anio pasado en Espania.
Shanghai tiene unos rascacielos enormes. La primera tarde fuimos a ver los rascacielos de noche, increible, tambien dimos un paseo por la calle mas centrica para ir de compras.
Al dia siguiente fuimos a la zona vieja para comer comida china autentica, yo tambien disfrute de un paseo en un jardin que tenia unos 400 anios, nos lo pasamos muy bien lo unico malo fue que me dio una intoxicacion alimenticia y porque somos turistas nos costo mucho poder comprar la medicacion necesaria, bueno esa noche subimos al edificio mas alto de China, la torre Jinmao de 430m de altura.
Al dia siguiente fuimos al Museo de Shanghai y por la noche cogimos el tren a Xi'an.
