Gangsters in Shanghai

Last night we surprised an old family friend with a walking tour through Shanghai. This was not the average tour, but somewhat similar to a trip into the past,.the past of Shanghai and it's gangsters.

Most of the tour took place in the french concession, where you can still find many old houses. Here are a couple of snapshots

Our tour guide, Chloe

We were taught to pick pockets with the help of chopsticks, apparently this was how they did that back then

 

With all the Christmas lighting in town, some of the places were beautifully lit in the dark

 

I for one will be checking out the other tour the company offers, hmmh, the ghost tour sounds intreresting, perhaps before Halloween.....
