Shanghai, the city of endless surprises

I can with this city, honestly. 😻 It was raining pretty heavily today so we took our morning very slow, chatting, sipping matcha, and then headed our for our next adventure. We went to 1933 Old Millfun which is an old slaughterhouse with a very peculiar architecture. Nowadays it’s an event center and a host to many art studios, galleries and made the whole neighbourhood quite artsy. It reminded me of some scenes in Star Wars, super cool!! ✨ Outside of the building, we bumped into a robobar where robot arms are making the cocktail of your choice. Sadly, the internet is not strong enough to upload videos, so you have to wait to see the process, I did upload one photo of the result. It was fun haha. 🤖 After the slaugtherhouse, we got hungry and super randomly Yi found a cafe nearby that resembles Friends, the series. It was uncanny!! I had a club sandwich while watching the show, such a nice surprise. 😻 Then, we walked around a bit more to explore some more local neighbourhoods with old cinemas and shops, then hopped on a bike and went to the area where Yi spent a few years growing up. We accidentally crossed a dumpling place that sells the best soup dumplings in town so even though I was still full from the sandwich, couldn’t say no to try - and it was so worth it, yumm. One more kilo and counting. 😀 The evening we spent relaxing, ordered in peking duck pancakes and watched one episod of the new season of Black Mirror. Hoping to sleep early tonight as tomorrow we’re waking up at 5.20 am to catch our flights - for me to Taiwan, for Yi to her project. See you later, Shanghai! 💛En savoir plus
