Shanghai

What do you get when the Jetsons meet old London town?  Well, I don't know, but something that probably looks an awful lot like Shanghai.  We stayed in the Bund, the little piece of England that British colonists managed to build with all their hard earned opium trade money.  And the Bund faces Pudong, which has a skyline that might well have been induced by opium dreams.  We weren't there for long, so not much to say:  Big city.  Huge city, even.  Much to explore another day.
