    The first one looks decent, but it's definitely been touched up a bit. When I went before, sometimes you could get good shots if the weather was nice.

      Shanghai is my favorite city. Yet, it's a city where it's hard to find love.

        Still like it even if you can't find love there? Are you a masochist or something? [ErR]

          Since moving to Shanghai, I haven't had a single day of real relaxation. There are too many talented people, and what's scarier is that those more talented than you are also working even harder.

            My anxiety flared up as soon as I got to Shanghai [FacepalmR].

              Stay too long, and it's hard to leave, just like a fish can't leave water.

                  Can graduates from 'Tier 2' universities find jobs in Shanghai?

                    Shanghai has plenty of people without high academic qualifications. It really depends on what kind of work you're looking for.

                        It's actually pretty good already.

                            The second photo looks like London if it was pretty.

                              I once read a saying: because people in this city are relatively affluent, they have the spare energy to be kind. My phrasing might be a bit off, but the gist is that when life is going well for you, you have more capacity to be kind to others.

                                Poverty breeds cunning, wealth fosters a good conscience.

                                  I feel there's an issue with major Chinese cities (or perhaps it's an issue): the roads are too wide, buildings are massive, and there are few ground-floor shops, so cohesive street-level commercial zones don't really form. However, places like Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney, and New York (though I haven't been to NY) do have these, to some extent. If you disagree or think our cities are better, well, you're right then.

                                    I've been to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York, and actually, Shanghai is quite similar. While many people poke fun at 'Citywalks' in Shanghai, it's precisely the high density of ground-floor businesses and commercial areas that make them possible. Beijing, on the other hand, struggles with this as things are much more spread out.
