Shanghai Pudong Airport

Finally got into Shanghai after what seemed like a very long day. Flight was short, only about 1hr 50min from Hong Kong, and the weather is decent and not as cold as I thought. Came off the plane and went directly at the water dispenser to ease my dry throat.

Walked a little closer and read the small print. Although I know it’s only bad grammar, it still wasn’t reassuring to drink. Decided my throat could wait a little bit longer.

Passing customs and into the baggage claim, I noticed how much nicer the interior was compared to when I was here in March ’09.

Found out that the airport had been extended and took a little less than 2 years to complete.

Structurally, Pudong reminds me of Hong Kong International airport now.

A very nice touch that feels a lot more welcoming than before.
