After getting off the subway, we walked through streets with skyscrapers, and the fast and dynamic life of Shanghai was all around us. Cars and motor cycles speeding by, people on their cell phones on the pavement: the pulse of a modern city in fast development. Crossing some streets took us to a side street with a completely different vibe. A line of freshly slaughtered ducks waiting to be roasted, a man washing vegetables in the street, people playing mahjong in the street... The fancy youngsters in this street, with gaudy haircut and bright, smart, clothes, made this street a true mix of old and modern.

The other side of the busy street: high-rise buildings dwarfing the old houses of the neighbourhood we were in.
