I have always been the adventurous type, I always sneak out of my window that's above my parents room and walk through the forest and lay in the field behind my house. The sky was mesmerizing after dark with the stars and the clouds. Laying on the ground, looking up into the sky, and trying to figure out what object the stars formed is relaxing to me.

Then, when they went all the way through the trapdoor, the combination of

One of its names was ‘Shanghai Capital of the World’.
