city of blinding lights

This was the stunning view from my hotel room in the 49th floor! I was so fascinated and freaked out by the height and the view that I could not fall asleep without taking photos over and over again. Being so high over Shanghai and its 20 million people is an incredible feeling.

    Wow!!! i would not have wanted to leave the 49th floor
    Looks so colorful, busy with a great nightime buzz and mood.
    Hope you are well, how on earth do you afford a life time of travels??? you must have worked yourself to the bone and good on you as life is too short to sit and wait for things to happen as i sometimes do. Have a great day and take care.
