You get used to the huge highways, flyovers etc but sometimes you realize how intense and immense they are compared to, for instance, Europe.

We went today again, to get inspiration and ideas for our new apartment. Besides the restaurant which I mentioned yesterday, and besides buying, Ikea is also a great place for taking a nap.

In Holland I went there to buy stuff for my student room. In China Ikea has branded itself as high-end. They have a nice restaurant with cheap food. It was packed.

…..It was a beautiful evening and the clouds reminded me of Holland.

Although a lot of buildings are taken down to make place for big and mostly ugly sky scrapers, the local government is starting to realize (slowly) that it makes sense to protect some of the heritage.
