Tale of Two Cities

Some photos from our long weekend in Shanghai earlier this month. I just love the contrast of new and old!



"Old Street" - we spent a few hours exploring the cheap souvenirs and fake antiques, and actually ended up buying a painting.


Pudong
The Bund




After melting for a day and a half the humidity suddenly disappeared! And just like that Fall is here! Yes!

Nanjing Donglu--THE shopping street. I'll have to come back without Brian!

  2. Great pics, Leslie - am I crazy, or do some of the buildings along the river look like they would also be at home in London? What a crazy blend of architecture!

    As always, keep up the great writing!!!
