Top Marques (luxury expo)

My friend invited me to the Top Marques expo which is "The Most Exclusive Luxury Show in Asia". It was at the Shanghai Exhibition hall which I'd seen from the flyover but didn't know what it was until today! It is a very Western styled building with tall spires, like a church.

Security was very tight and scalpers were constantly getting chased out of the place. There was mostly cars, watches and jewellery and a whole section for property and even a stand for private jets! All very expensive and fancy but an experience I wouldn't have again so thought I'd just visit anyway.

It didn't take more than an hour to walk the two floors and so afterwards me and my friends walked over to the Shanghai Centre to eat at Crepes & Co. We then stole the wifi from Starbucks to buy cinema tickets for 44RMB to see some shark movie in 3D.

We walked along West Nanjing Road and spent some time in the Japanese department store before taking the metro towards Zhongshan Park. The cinema was located in a place a bit further than here so we took a taxi and found the reason for cheap tickets was the cinema was very old and in an awkward location. This brand of cinema is called 17.5 and is very run-down.

The movie was called Shark Bait or something and was very predictable. The 3D though was pretty good, not like a lot of movies where the 3D is added in and feels out of place.
