Huānyíng guānglín zai SHANGHAI!: You got to be kidding!.. and not be sick of hights!

This Blog is about loving and living in Shanghai. 25 Million Chinese and US! - two "lao wais" (foreigners) called Paul and Angelika who are living right in the heart of the city.Not one day passes where we don´t get fascinated by living here as this place is full of stories and adventures. Big ones, small ones and of coarse our very personal one. You are warmly invited to experience some of these adventures with us and to find out that after all Shanghai is only just a little more crazy than other parts in the world. It´s all a matter of perspective :-). Welcome to our home and to the GOLDLINCOLN Blog!

You got to be kidding!.. and not be sick of hights!

I have to share this video with you!

Whilst all of Shanghai was celebrating Chinese new year - and those who didn´t enjoyed a nice holiday abroad - two Russian guys managed to break into the construction site of the new "tallest building in China to be".

With 650 meters it outstands the latest addition to the Pudong skyline, the famous bottle opener (495meters) by far. But therefore gives some fantastic views from the top.

You got to be pretty insane to do this! But see for yourself:

The building is supposed to be finished by end of this year.. not sure if we will ever make it up there..
We have heard rumors two years ago that the foundation has a crack!!

Expect the unexpected - Why Shanghai?

For nearly 10 years we have lived in a cosy little village settled amongst lush green vineries on the river rhine in Germany. Just about as we were getting ready to properly settle down, we were presented with this once in a life time opportunity to move for 2-3 years to Shanghai. Was it an expereince we have been looking for? No, it wasn´t. But it was a door that opened and after a little thinking we admitted that we were by far to curious to find out what there would lay behind it. So we decided to take a "left turn" in our life, to try out something new and to move here - An estimated 20 million people mega city, 8000km away. And what have we learnt? Expect the unexpected- always and for sure in our daily life in Shanghai.
