Shanghai

Shanghai - a city that offers opportunities to trade, places to raid and amazing wonders that are man-made. A city that truly makes you forget the New Yorks & Californias of the world - you have Times square, you have People's square, and you also have the BUND, a river that divides the city. 

The beauty of Shanghai lies in its fastest infrastructure development in the Pudong area. Its been believed that there was a time when world's 50% of the JCBs were in duty in this region. The city has great network of buses, optimum supply of taxis, best quality metro and the experience of the fastest train in the world. 

When we go into hospitality, it mostly covers most of the top hospitality brands - The Grand Hayatt that has a lounge come restaurant on the 87th floor, The Ritz-Carlton that has Flair lounge on the 57th floor (the highest open air bar cum restaurant, The SWFC 93, that has an amazing dance club on the 93rd floor which is happening on Wednesdays & The Kerry Hotel that is located adjacent to the Shanghai International Expo ground. 

Xintandi at the Bund offers a narrow street with the best restaurants and pubs in the city. Bar Rough located on the famous Cartier building facing the Bund river is undoubtedly the best club of the city with M18 located on the 3rd floor in the same building.

For vegetarians - Element Fresh, The Punjab Grill, Bukhara and Delhi Durbar are the saviours. The currency RMB or YUAN is very reasonably priced at 0.10 as compared to indian rupee. 

The city has immense potential to be strongest country in the world by 2015. I hope to be a frequent visitor to this country and experience the richness of hard work, focus and dedication that the citizens of the country have towards their work.
