Shanghai'ed: favorites

Here are some of my favorite images from roaming around Shanghai:



above: in an alleyway of the painfully hip commercial art area called the Taiking Road Art Centre



above: the view of Pudong River from my hotel room. Yes folks: that's SMOG.





above: one of the many the Mao Tse-Tung tribute sections of the Shanghai Chinese Propaganda Museum, though this one had an impressive collection of mini Mao statues that filled a wall.



above: OMG! A Smart Car in Shanghai! Modernization to the max.



above: Crazy Harajuku-type fashionistas populate Shanghai too.

Is that train actually a monorail? Because Ennio and I watched something on high tech monorails and it talked about one in China that is the world's fastest.

I'm not sure if i could handle the red hua guo, but I wish I could try. How I long for good Chinese food.

Yes, it's probably the high speed monorail that you saw. It is supposedly the world's fastest (though China really does up its superlatives in a ridiculous way.).
