I was living in a truly urban environment again. Although big city life has its downsides, I really enjoy it. &nbsp;As I wrote in my previous notes, I found the capital of China to be very dynamic and anything but boring. However, while in Beijing, I was very curious about life in Shanghai. &nbsp;Beijingers gave me very mixed reviews of this city, which added even more to my curiosity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I&#8217;ve been in Shanghai for one month now, and I have to admit that I love this city. It has a fascinating history, very interesting people (who like to strongly distinguish themselves from other Chinese), great nightlife, and a unique energy that is hard to describe in words. Compared with Beijing, Shanghai appears to be very modern, and a lot more &ldquo;walkable&rdquo; because it&rsquo;s not as widespread. I&rsquo;m excited to keep learning more about the &ldquo;Paris of the East&rdquo; both through my Fudan University course and exploring Shanghai on my own. Below are two videos from last weekend I would like to share with you. The first one shows a surprising music performance on the balcony of a Nanjing Lu building. Nanjing Lu is one of the main pedestrian streets in downtown Shanghai. As you can see, it&rsquo;s always full of people, especially on the weekends. The second one shows the Bund, Shanghai&rsquo;s famous waterfront area. On the day I took the video, this beautiful place was reopened after being closed due to the 2010 Expo construction work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Leaving Crawfordsville for Beijing in December was a big change.
