| Another picture of modern Shanghai, this time at night. | Here I am eating even more Chinese food. Hopefully, I was not served too much dog meat. |
 |
 |
| The view from the Jin Mao Tower is magnificent. The picture is somewhat unclear, however, as it was taken through a window. | The Jin Mao Tower houses the world's highest hotel, namely the Grand Hyatt (where I evidently can not afford to stay). The reception can be seen at the bottom of this picture, which was taken from the top of the Jin Mao Tower. |

 |
| Finally, Shanghai at night can be a lot of fun. We enjoyed several nice foot massages, and the acrobats at the Shanghai Centre Theatre are incredible. | Close to this Yoshinoya restaurant (Japanese food chain), we visited the Xiangyang Clothing Market. This is highly recommended, as you can find fake brand-name goods at really cheap prices. |
 |
| Finally, say whatever you want about the Chinese, but their table manners are "different" than what I am used to. This is a Chinese dinner table after a random Chinese family has massacred their meal. It seems to be customary to simply spit out any food one does not like, and the result can be seen above. |
