China Field Trip 2012:
Fast Cities, Slow Cities and Capital Cities

We arrived in Shanghai where we are starting our field trip today. Taking the fast Maglev train from Pudong International Airport to the city was only the first of many experiences with "fast" life in China. Over the next two weeks, we will discover fast-growing metropolises like Shanghai, small towns that are dedicated to the slow life like Yaxi and political cities like Beijing. Our group consists of 24 students and professors from Bern and we are particularly excited to share our experiences with you on this blog!
