City that never sleeps...And neither do I


This week has been very busy and haven't had time to write anything in the evenings because I've spent every single night out in different parties. I had some business partners coming over to Shanghai and been showing them around. We went the Park Hyatt hotel by he river where you can see both Pudong and Puxi. It's on the 50th floor and the view is absolutely amazing and they have a Jacuzzi there on the top of the roof where you can float around, watching the night view and sip some Champagne.

I also went to the highest club in Shanghai in the 93rd (this was the first elevator you had to take) floor. It's up in the World Finance Tower which is 570 meters high. Earlier I posted a photo of it. They had live music and everything looks very small from up there. Was so dark that I didn't get any good pictures...
The oldest 5 star hotel in Shanghai has a restaurant open 24/7 and it was a great place to go and sit for a while after a busy night. Looks amazing, when entering the building it feels like you go 100 years back in time.
I haven't been at a "home party" for ages until this week! An Italian friend organized one. It was packed! Was a lot of fun, just like being 16 again!
There have been several Champagne parties in the exclusive clubs here mainly because of the Formula 1 race that's coming up tomorrow. Last night M1NT har a special F1 Invitation Only party. They had a formula car fasted above the bar disk in M1NT and a model who was body-painted in Ferraris Red colors. Some of my friends had booked a table and there was free flow of excellent Champagne all night long!

Today on lunch break I went out to eat with some friends of mine. Because the weather is finally warm and well above 20 we thought that getting some food and sitting in a park enjoying it would be nice. After sitting for 5 minutes some chinese guard comes screaming and and telling us to leave the park "you cannot sit here". We ignored him and after a while he gave up and went to bug some other people...What's the point with a park if you can't even sit there?
