China trip: Beijing

I also went to Beijing for 3 days to visit my brother Ken. Masa from Vienna and Basti from Cologne also came there. It was a lot of fun to meet these friends in China!
We had a tasty Peking duck.

China trip: Shanghai

I went to China for 2 weeks. 10 days were with a university excursion to Shanghai and surroundings. It was an exchange program with Pudong university (復旦大学).
We stayed at a hotel at Pudong university.

The university sign↑ was written by the notorious Mao Ze Dong 毛沢東...

The bund: Shanghai`s modern district on one side...

...and colonial European buildings on the other.
