Shanghai is definately as metropolis as it can be. Buildings that stretches as far into the sky as my eyes could see, bridges with huge span, multiple stories highway, ridiculous big cars, adequately polluted air and fast paced people. I like the city at night, electricity is as if free, they light up just about everything. No wonder they consume most of the oil nowdays. They look pretty though at the expense of the environment. then again, money talk, bs walks. China could afford it, they can burn it all they want. Shanghai is just a classic example.
