My 2nd business trip in 2 months to Shanghai, went out with the camera this morning .....

Working out with a sword in front of the BMW store ...

Luxury transportation

Old & new

Resistance is futile

Resistance is futile 2 ... apparently the Borg also need a driving range (far right)

Construction, construction, everywhere you look ....

From one viewing spot in Pudong, I counted a dozen 40+ story apartment buildings like these under construction, and half a dozen 40+ story office buildings ...

What do you do for a living, Chmee? It seems like you travel a lot.

The Pu-dong waterfront of the Huanpo River, taken from the
west bank in Pu-shi .... looks like the frickin' Jetsons should live there

Further into Pu-dong, the building with the big square hole ...

Downtown in Pu-shi, our company's office is in the building to the left in the trio of big buildings

Half the people still get around this way

Chmee, can I ask you to please linkify the big picture? It screwed up the page's format.

People flying kites at Centura Plaza, a mile or so pavilion of walkway joining a part of downtown Pu-dong (seen in that first pic) with the science museum and other public buildings ...

Every few hundred yards there is a little walled meditation area, there were a few different designs, but I liked this one

Kites above the Science Museum

Kite flyers

Hong Kong bank girls from the conference room next door ... I'm not sure this is what the Chairman had in mind, but I approve.
