What a beautiful sunny, clear day for me to head across the river by subway to the TV tower and JinMao tower in Pudong and to see the whole city of Shanghai. The massive scale of China is overwhelming - especially knowing I'm just seeing Shanghai. There is little green space and the high rises in the distance only disappear into the hazy of the pollution. The western brand signs dot the river. I hit the "super brand mall" complete with a Best Buy at the top. Very fun to look inside and try to compare prices.
With a birdseye view of the world expo construction - proof of a country trying to prove itself again to the outside world. Now seeing the vastness of this city- the minor rebuilding of that site is really just that only a small plot in this massive city.
Truly an amazing journey and now a deeper understanding of a country America is sometimes so obsessed about. Could I ever live here perhaps someday.
