Last week I went to Shanghai. It was amazing! It’s huge: in fact, it’s the largest city in
China with a population of 19 million. We stayed in a hotel in the Bund, the old part of
the city, and saw the older, more traditional houses built by the French. Then we visited
the newer part of the city and went up the Oriental Pearl Tower. This was the tallest
building in Shanghai, but now there’s an even taller one! Yesterday, I bought lots of
clothes. They were much cheaper than in London and are all famous designer names!

I just visited Machu Picchu in Peru. It was the best holiday ever! It took four days to
climb to the top of the mountain and I was very tired when we finished. But the old Inca
city looked much more beautiful than the photos you see in magazines or on TV! At
first it was quiet because there weren’t many people around; we watched the sunrise and
the city looked very mysterious. Then the train arrived, and it got much busier and
noisier with lots of tourists taking photos. I’ve got lots of photos too!
