After a day of walking Shanghai, shopping -finally findings things that fit and I like. This is a fabulous city - I fell in love with it at night the Bund and TV tower. A night of getting the suitcase set for journeying home and I flip on the TV for the first time - HBO Tom Cruise movie on - wasn't sure what and scenes from Shanghai- how ironic. I read in the guidebook this morning about how it showed scenes of the canal area I will visit tomorrow. Just like the movie scenes tall beautiful buildings, lots of people. I could live here-I say that now as a tourist, but the lack of fresh air and green space would likely to me in.
Visited the urban planning center-unbelievable the huge master plan for the city. Having helped the city of Richfield with their master plan - who would be crazy enough to take a plan and build a model of it- a huge model-unbelievable. It showed their construction plans for the World Expo 2010. It said they were the first developing country to host it. Again another example of a country investing heavily in large scale construction to drive this country into the future. A theme throughout my journey. Off to the suburban canal area tomorrow and than to find expats for Thanksgiving. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.
