I thought it was time to post the first set of photos that I’ve taken in Shanghai.  Take a look:

Hazy Shanghai.  This was taken from my Dad’s hotel room.  It’s one of the poorer areas of the city.

The famous tower in PuDong.

A raging club that was way too much fun.  We danced the night away and tried our best to avoid the women employed by the club to steal your money.

Taken from a revolving restaurant (hence the blurriness); showing how crowded the streets are with people at night.

Some random buildings.

My office from which I am writing.

Bamboo scaffolding.  Pretty rad, huh?

The tallest building in Shanghai.  We call it the Great Bottle Opener.

Home for four months.

I tried to capture the mayhem of the streets with this photo.  Bikes, pedestrians, scooters, and cars battle for space.  People run red lights.  Green crosswalk symbols don’t mean anything.  Taxi drivers drive on the opposite side of the road.  It’s wild and totally exciting :).

A huge mass of bikers waiting for the light.  Strange that they’re actually waiting.

More photos coming soon!
