Last time I visited Shanghai was back in 2003. I stayed at my local friends' apartment and had a really fun two weeks' vacation. Nowadays, many of them have already owned their beautiful houses and taken charge of chief at one of fronts at work. Not only the local people, has the city itself changed dramatically. Apartment blocks and offices of 20-40 stories appear to have sprung up on every available plot of land, with hardly anything in between, apart from the elevated highways, cutting lines like knives through butter. Many people wonder how so many people can live in relative peace in such a confined area? The answer is everyone does seem to get along with their lives with a great deal of dignity and respect for their fellows. Yeap, it is Shanghai, one of the world's most populous place!
