Shanghai, or as the locals call it, ‘Hu’, is with a population of 24,2 million people enormous by all standards. Just for comparison, New York City will account for about 8,5 million. Situated by the Yangtze River, the city serves as the most influential economic and financial hub in East China, with extensive international trade and a rich cultural heritage. The city has a long history in silk, textiles and embroidery, dating back to the end of the Ming dynasty in 1664.

So the first stop on the trip is Abu Dhabi. Firstly it's ridiculously hot, people aren't so hospitable but the scenery of architecture makes up for it. I went to the Louvre and engaged with a multitude of works, which was honestly so inspiring. I’m excited for day 2, where I leave Abu Dhabi and head out to Shanghai
