Shanghai during sunset

This was taken from the Meridien hotel. I went there at the end of the afternoon. The restaurant was closed but I found a lift in service, used by the staff. I went up and all of a sudden found myself facing the manager. I asked when the restaurant would open and if I could have a look around. She said yes and she then had a long phone call. I went to sit down in a couch. The lady forgot I was there and she switched off all the lights and closed the restaurant.. with me inside.. I stayed there for two hours, in the dark, watching the sun going down and all the city lights switching on, in an astonishing silence. It's hard to describe this moment, I was far above this anthill, in my quiet nest.

They finally opened the restaurant: I left, in silence; nobody saw me and nobody knew I was there..until now

The buildings really must be high if you can get that high enough to see all of that. You'd never get me up there. At least not for a bet XD

Yes it is pretty high! You have vertigo?

What an experience that must have been. I think I would panic if I was left alone overnight in a public establishment... well other than a bookstore of course.
