LIVE IT! LOVE IT!

'2010 東京'
2번째 여행기를 포스팅합니다.

이번 도쿄 여행기는 깔끔한 사진 위주가 될 것 같군요.
더워서 수첩에 일일이 기록하지 못한 이유도 있고
2번째라서 일부러 조금 다른 스타일로 여행해 보려 노력했습니다.

귀국 후 뵙겠습니다.^_^

도쿄에서 마지막날 밤에...

Shanghai, The city of China.
Trip to Shanghai was not just a sightseeing tour for me.
I really needed to take some rest and refresh my mind.
Yes, I satisfied enough and more.

Shaghai was a big metro city than I expected.
You may hard to find traditional chinese things here.  
However, It is still one of the most attractive city in the world.
And I'd rather say, it is a orginal Shanghai style.

Honestly, I don't think I would live in Shanghai.
But, I can say I would visit here some other day.

I would never forget yellow light of the Bund.
Everything are in my mind.

At the park.
I read a book titled '色, 戒'..
Took some pictures..

When I reminisce about Shanghai, it always comes with Park sae-byul's music.

It was a rainy day.
I visited this Starbucks branch the second.I took some notes.
......
When travel was over, I could found another things from here.

Bags, and flight FM827 over the window.

Time to leave
The last step at the airport.

One day Ticket.
I bought it from Korea.
I could save my time..,,

UK Pavilion

Finland Pavilion

Italy Pavilion

France Pavilion

Republic of Korea Finland Pavilion

This is Xintiandi(新天地).
Which was developed by businessman from HK.
It seemed European style complex, however these buildings are 弄堂 style which is traditional dwelling style of south chinese.Jazz Club "Brown Sugar"She played Violin Sonata of Edward Elgar.
I prefer Edward Elgar cello concert but it was romantic enough.People at Xintiandi.I had a brunch at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
I wrote some postcards and E-mail to my friends.

 Cafe Ginger at west Fu xing rd.
  Apple crumble
  Lemon Tart
  Tropical Slurp

  Total: 115 RMB

It tasted really great!
How can I explain...I'll never forget west Fu xing rd. with platanus..

I loved old-fashioned streets in Shanghai

Everyone know that chinese like two things.
Red color and number 8.
Jin Mao Tower is a symbolic building of Shanghai.
You can find chinese idea of '8' in this building.
The building has 88 floors.
And also located on adress 88.View from Jin Mao Tower.Grand Hyatt Shanghai located at 53-87 Floor in this building.
It was really amazing!Self shotSWFC building which is only one taller building than this tower.  It was hot. I Took a rest... I had to. 

  Christian Dior's fashion show "Cruise" in Shanghai.
   John Galliano was there.

 

Green Tea sesame roll at Starbucks Coffee Shop.
 I needed some time for rest.
 And I got a chance to have a nice chat with friend.Binjiang Dado is popular street in Shanghai.
There were enough benchs... good view of course.
And you can smell Huangpu River...
I loved it!People.
There were many chinese people but it was hard to find foreigners.It seemed debris of Dock facility.

                    The garden was first established in 1559 as a private garden created by Pan Yunduan, who spent almost 20 years building a garden to please his father Pan En, a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, during his father's old age. Over the years, the gardens fell into disrepair until about 1760 when bought by merchants, before suffering extensive damage in the 19th century. In 1842, during the Opium Wars, the British army occupied the Town God Temple for five days. During the Taiping Rebellion the gardens were occupied by imperial troops, and damaged again by the Japanese in 1942. They were repaired by the Shanghai government from 1956-1961, opened to the public in 1961, and declared a national monument in 1982.   from wikipedia

 Chinese style Lamp.
There were many characteristic small gates as many as separated areas.I loved that wall.
When I touched, It was cold but it made me calm.I could feel green vitality at the old traditional garden.
Old and green. Breath of moss.On the floor..
I can't forget the feelings on my fingers.
They are still fighting against a dragon since Ming Dynasty.
Antique and simple.
Only I and tree in this room. I thought even I could talk to leaves.Harmonious chinese family. They seem to be happy.




 Yuyuan was quite a big garden than I expected.
It was separated with many different areas delicately. And each area made me feel cosy.

 In this garden, you can feel fresh energy as much as old chinese tradition spirit.

They alway seemed to be very tired.

 When I first saw this sight, It was little strange thing.
Because, I have hardly seen like this before in Korea.
In Korea, they usually dry their laundry in house or veranda in apartment.
They reluctant to hang out their clothes that everyone easy to see; maybe air pollution problem too.
 I'm not sure that Shanghai has a clean air or not. Anyway, in Shanghai, you can see laundry everywhere. Even I saw it was hung at rooftop of department store. And sometimes it seemed to dangerous, can you see a T-shirt hanging on electric power line pole(Left picture)?

 
Sunny day.
I always hope to take for a walk at somewhere like this.

 
I visited 東方明珠(Oriental Pearl TV Tower)
Honestly, it was not that fascinating as I expected. Anyway, this tower is symbolic structure of Shanghai.

 

Here is SWFC(Shanghai World Financial Center) which is one of the highest building in the world.

 
Sunset was so beautiful.
I spent about 2 hours at this observation deck.
Sometimes just seating and having a time... sentimental relax.
We need to, truly.

 

Shanghai was a really big city.
And there were so many people. 22 millions... wow

(I recommend you to click pics for large size)

AREX to Airport in Seoul.
It's so clean and convenient.
However MAGLEV in Shanghai is much faster.
Finally, I'm on Shanghai. It was my first visit.
The Bund.
I loved that light and color.
Pudong, across the river.
It was amazing.Lovers at Waitan and people.

(사진 크기가 크니 사진을 클릭하신 후 왼쪽위에 화살표를 다시 클릭하여 감상하세요.)

야경하면 대부분 와이탄에서 바라본 푸둥의 고층 건물들을 연상할 것이다.
하지만 나에게 반대로 푸둥의 빈장다다오에서 바라본 와이탄 야경이 더 매력적이었다.

조만간 사진들 업로드 하겠습니다.

안개에 갇힌 푸둥.

아침에 일어나 창밖으로 이런 경관을 볼 수 있다면 하고 상상한게 몇번인지 모른다.

한국으로 보낼 엽서들을 정리했다.
아마 엽서보다 내가 먼저도착할테니
분신을 남겨두는 듯한...

아이팟으로 포스팅하는 것도 이것으로 마지막이겠군.

Shanghai, Better city, better life.

하루면 충분하리라고 생각했다.
오산이었군...

Passport에 기념 스탬프 채우는 것 만큼이나
각 관마다 다른 문화를 체험하는게 흥미롭다.

꼭 다시 와서 나머지도 다 둘러보고 싶은걸?

2012년 여수는 솔직히 잘 모르겠고,
2015년 밀란에서 하는 엑스포는 꼭 가보고 싶다.

상하이의 일요일은 그저 관광객이 많은 시끄러운 날인가? 어제 부터 늘어난 한국인들이 솔직히 그리 반갑지만은 않다. 관광지라도 가면 꼭 단체관광 온 것 같은 느낌이 들어서 싫고.

비오는 일요일이다. 이 날씨를 위해 진미오다샤에 아직 안 올라갔는데 기다린 보람이 있는 걸까. 보통 맑을날을 선호하겠지만, 나는 도쿄 롯본기 모리 힐즈 전망대 이후 언제나 비오는 날 전망대을 좋아한다. 흐린 하늘 사이로 보였던 도쿄 타워와 레인보우 브릿지는 소설에서 느꼈던 감성을 처음으로 선사한 경관이었다.

여행을 하면 할 수록 사람은 참 닮았다는 생각을 많이한다. 그리고 많은 편견을 깨나가며 내가 아직 멀었구나하는 생각도 자주하게 된다. Keep going
