Shenzhen

Through all the customs and checkpoints again but this time it's much faster because we managed to wake up pretty early and leave the flat before lunch time

I already had the short history lesson about Shenzhen earlier that it was the first Economic Developing area in China back in 1970. Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai belong to the 3 most developed city's in China. In China they grade cities as "Grade 1 City, Grade 2 City and Grade 3 City". Shenzhen is a Grade1 city, I'm not really sure how they are graded but it must have something to do with salaries, education, subways etc infrastructure.

Shenzhen is a BORING place! We went to do some shopping (found a stupid chinglish t-shirt)
and checked out the worlds biggest shopping mall for electronics! It was huge and you could wonder around there all day and see all the newest and high tech things (Laakso you would so love this place!). We checked the map and found a place where they were suppose to have Old Opium Dens people can go and look at but I guess the taxi driver took us to the wrong place so the only fun thing we found was this cigarette pick machine which is usually used for picking up toys for kids, was hilarious! Too bad we didn't get a pack, check the video for additional fun :P

If you take a vacation in China don’t bother going to Shenzhen, nothing to see here...Beijing and Shanghai has everything that they have here and MORE!This statue was kinda random...

Ser ut som en läcker mesta, Akihabara jää kakkoseksi (?). Fast dom två ställena har säkert ganska olika sorters tavara till försäljning. Du ha orka päivittä blogin ganska regelbundet, keep on trucking!
