After finishing our courses, and receiving our TEFL certificates, a few of us ventured into the city to partake in the holiday experience. We expected a huge crowd, and Shanghai delivered. An entire part of the city was slammed. We walked down Nanging road to the Bund, and back.
A few notables: This time of year is perfect weather. About 75F and actually sunny. This usually only lasts a few eeks before the cold sets in, so people really come out to enjoy it. Everyone seems glad to be out, and having a break from the heat. I was enjoying my first trip to the Bund!
Also, for such a huge crowd, I was amazed to see so many toddlers, kids, and babies. Most places I've been, people would probably NEVER even imagine taking their kids out in this type of scene. I realized that the entire time we were out, there was not one single episode of screaming or cursing, or throwing beer on anyone, or fighting. Quite unbelievable actually. How they are able to keep things so orderly is another story, but the fact is, that for such a large crowd, it seems quite safe.
