Great adventurous 12 day trip to Shanghai and Hangzhou

Before the very bust summer i decided to take a trip a few hours north of where i am along the east coast.

I was amaized of well their English is in Shanghai. So different from where i am. Shanghai is China's biggest and the most busy city. You can soon call it the new Hong Kong. i decided to meet some new people and learn more about Shanghai. Photos of Shanghai to come soon.

After one week i decided to take the train to Hangzhou the capital of Zhejiang my province here.
It was only a 2 hour train ride to Hangzhou. I fall in love with the lake, similar too Okanagan lake in Kelowna Canada but so much smaller. Again the people spoke a lot more English. They also have schools that teach foreigners chinese. This is what i need a structured Chinese class.

I just found out that Marco Pollo travelled here and called it Heaven on Earth. I rode a bike around the lake and took a boat tour with my new friends. i hope to come back here soon and see if i can do something. Ps I came to China exactly 1 year ago
