Yesterday arrived in Shanghai at night time 10.30pm. This is my third time to Shanghai. First time was when I worked in my ex-company, Hitachi. The second time was the trip to visit DELL that I came with my colleague. Second trip was only for less than 24 hours, thus nothing much to see except met with DELL people.
The personnel/engineer of the company that we are visiting picked us up from the airport. This Pudong International Airport is quite a big airport. Ricky brought us to the hotel we are staying, Grand Hyatt Shanghai. Hotel is ok as usual for a 5 star hotel and prior to this, I was prepared by applying online for the Hyatt Gold Passport. Seems that during this period at least 1 night stay would allow me to be upgraded to Platinum member for a year. In this case, I became Platinum member until Feb 2009. Lucky!
After a tiring day of meeting, we were threated to a Szechuan dinner besides Shangrila hotel. The restaurant definitely had a great view of Shanghai city across the river. I didn't bring my camera but managed to take couple of photos with my Sony Ericson k750i handphone camera.

View from the restaurant looking over to Puxi, the old part of Shanghai city.
Walked through a mall after finishing dinner in photo above. Noticed the word Spring (in Chinese) on the billboard. Chinese New Year this year is near on the first week of Feb. Shanghai is full of lively new year decoration welcoming the year of the Rat. Here in China, they call the Chinese New Year as Spring Festival instead.
