Intro: I have been attracted by Asia since I was
young and when I was traveling in Africa I
promised myself that it was going to be my
next destination. Around January, while I was resting in Italy
after 9 months of Africa, I found a cheap flight
going to Shanghai, China... As my first time in Asia, at the beginning I
was really shocked about all those new cultures: the oriental type of
writing, the oriental food, the oriental people, the oriental mass
and the oriental traditions... I met a chinese guy named James, he helped me out
a lot during my permanence and we became good friends.

<<
Left, James , my giving me a great welcome with the Chinese new year cake
>> Right, Working out at the gym , a local gym without heaters , cold like a
refrigerator, with cool guys who were eating 8 eggs during the training
and using some special techniques. The cost of 1 month with a personal
trainer for each session was 120 Y ! Around 10$ jeez!!!
<< Left, At least 1 meal per day was composed by these inexpensive chinese
dumplings with very easy cook processing...
>> Right, 2 typical Chinese things caught in 1 shot: a bicycle and the chinese
writings

Left, Drunk and happy in the city center
>> Right, The
last hour in my room before leaving for Guangzhou, remembering all the
nice moments spent in Shanghai...
Guangzhou photo gallery:
<< Left, Mandy ,me and Liang
>> Right, Coming close to the real life in China
<< Left, It's
kind of romantic the fact that for 3 days we communicated with drawings, as Liang couldn't speak more than 2 words of english.
>> Right, View from the 24th fllor of Liang's place : the fog you can see
obviously is not only humidity but most of it is composed by pollution.
