Two hours out

We are now two hours out of downtown Shanghai and still you see 8 -10 construction cranes at a time and massive high rises. It would be like driving to St cloud but the whole way it is like the Bloomington 494 strip. There were farm plots alongside the massive housing developments. Homes look more western - but the terra cotta tile roofs are used. Were back into another metropolis - kinda like having two Chicagos side by side. Unbelievable.
