We have finally arrived to our last destination of Cal Poly Pomona's College of Environmental Design trip. We are here in Shanghai at last, it is coming to an end and I don't want leave.

The more south we kept getting of China, the more I liked China. I really liked the city Shanghai, ONE: because there were more english speakers and TWO: because there were western toilets everywhere and THREE: it looked cleaner.
We went to the Long Museum shortly after arriving the city. I fell involve with the architecture of the building, their empowering artworks and delicious coffee at their cafe. The Long Museum had to be one of my favorite places I had visited in China. Their artwork exhibit were about women made by women, it was touching and I felt like I could relate to many of their pieces. It was hot but cloudy. As I walk looking at the artwork and pass by the window, I see that it started raining. I could hear the thunder at the distance and could already see a few leaks in the museum from the rain. It was aggressive but luckily I was inside. The rain was intense but only lasted for about an hour before it stopped. Once it stopped we left the museum, got on the bus and headed towards the Financial Center.
Arriving to the Financial Center, I looked up to feel sprinkles of rain falling on my face. All of these buildings were tall and shiny. We went up to the Shanghai World Financial Center. I can't remember how many stories it was but it was the second tallest building here. I could see the whole city from up here. Friends and I took hundreds of selfies to send back home to our families.
Later that night we all took a boat tour along the Bund. It was relaxing getting away from the busy city but still being able to see it. We passed the Bund, where all of the English architecture was at, and could see how crowded and chaotic it looked. I'm glad I wasn't actually in there because I don't like being around that many people.
