That one is an insider.
Huangpu Night
I was taking a picture of this truck that had destroyed Ouwen’s jacket when one of the workers asked me to take a picture of them.
From the Park to the Towers
On the way back from Century Park to the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum (the building on the left). The picture shows the opposite direction of the stairs to the Century Park entrance. It was taken from the same point.
My kite
Century Park
You have to pay 10 Yuan (about 1 Euro) to get into Shanghai’s largest park and can’t walk around in the evening because it closes at 6 pm.
Not So Golden Town
Chinese friends don’t accept that there are greasy fingerprints on the inner side of the glass.
And they know that the white things that taste a bit like onions are lilies.
Sweet-and-Sour Sauce
Again at the Uyghur restaurant next to the campus. A paper with the German translations of some dishes helped us to order but our Chinese was good enough to ask if the things contained meat or not. It was the first time that I’ve seen sweet-and-sour sauce in China. On the left, with the green eggplants.

How to Recharge
The student ID in Munich has an RFID with which I can pay in the cafeterias. The Tongji one too. If I want to recharge my card in Munich I go to one of several machines, put the money in the slot, hold the card against the sensor and wait.
If I want to recharge the card in Shanghai I need to get a form, fill it in, wait and pay at the counter:
Writing Hanzi
A Kazakh classmate and I had to write the hanzi for the new lesson on the whiteboard. With the help of the book, so it wasn’t too difficult.
The result.
Only one minor correction on my side.
The horizontal stroke at the first character of number eleven was wrongly inclined.
107 Yuan
But very good and enough for two meals.
Heping Park
What looks like a playground is a place where grown-ups exercise.
View to Rainbow City 2.
