I personally do not go shopping when I am travelling. I do buy stuff during my travels but they are always a by-product of my travel activities. Shopping is not a destination and travel activity. But I am always curious about shopping streets of cities. I want to see what it looks like, what kind of stores are there, what they offer, perhaps there is a café on the corner street that I can sit and have a drink whilst I watch people go about with their shopping?
Such as when I was in Copenhagen, I sat on this nice cafe restaurant on a corner of Stroget, which is the longest shopping street in Denmark and just watched people. I even managed to meet a local Dane where we had an interesting discussion about life.
Nevertheless, I was curious about the Shanghainese shopping lifestyle so I visited Nanjing Road.
