Trip to Shanghai

I think a visit to Shanghai would be a better resource to writing my paper. Because in one of my pieces of art shows pictures of certain areas of Shanghai before and after. I think it would help me understand if the artist feelings towards the changes in Shanghai were positive or negative, which can relate to all of my pieces I am writing about. Some of the artist that I am researching are difficult to understand because I do not know if they really like or dislike the changes that are going on in Shanghai. I think the development of Shanghai is great, but losing its heritage and the style of the old Shanghai neighborhoods is a bit sad. Another good reason for me to visit would help me with with my piece "Build your own home" I would probably understand how hard it was to make the homes in the old Shanghai neighborhoods and I would probably be able to feel the emotions that the people, specifically the elders of the Shanghai neighborhoods felt. I would also be able to relate to the younger people of the neighborhood and how the new Shanghai city would be better and helping the city of Shanghai become a better city.
A trip to Shanghai would be awesome because I would get to learn more about the traditions and a lot of cool cultural things about the city. I think it would get a better perspective of what development and destruction of Shanghai really means to the people who live work and play there.
