There are many places of interest in the busy city of Shanghai and it is totally unfair to force yourself to visit all of them in a span of just one or two days. A four- or five-day tour would be more like it.
I asked our host what is the population of Shanghai and was told that it's currently about 24 million. Compare this to Malaysia's (the whole country) 29 million people and you get the idea how condensed people are in the big city.
The followings are some of the not-so-glamorous selection of street photos during our visit:-
This bear glass has Arabic wordings on it. I don't understand what is written there but it somehow feels awkward.[BTW, I don't drink]
In Shanghai, 'honking' seem to be the way of communication and you'll hear pretty much (or rather, too much) of them everywhere. So, that sign up there is necessary sometimes.
UFO spaceship ready to 'sail' on Huangpu River? No, that's Mercedes-Benz Arena, the auto giant's show centre.
Stay tuned. A posting of a different kind of captures will follow soon.

They say you miss the Oriental Pearl Tower and you've missed Shanghai. I tend to agree.
It maybe a modern city but there's nothing wrong capping a skyscraper with a piece of history.
Taxi drivers are in a 'cage' of their own, well protected. I think this is a good one to emulate.
Ran out of idea for a catchy website name? Try numbers. They are unique, too.
Minimalist. An umbrella could be your taxi-stand shade when needed.
Smart idea - A trader using solar panel to power up his photo kiosk at The Bund. It costs you RMB20 to RMB40 per 8" frame.
Some people like the idea of a limousine as their wedding car
while...some prefer to wait for the taxi
And...finally my favourite - Solar-powered road signage. It's cool and I like it.

What were you doing there, man? Jalan-jalan cari makan or work? :D
Happy Wednesday!
Hey Arms, we did both. Had an assignment there so took the opportunity to tag the family along.
i love Shanghai. there's always something interesting to see and do.
tertarik dengan gambar terakhir tu
kalau kat sini, memang hilang dalam masa seminggu
teh ramuan - mentaliti vandalisme masih sukar dibendung. Saya pernah lihat solar panel kecil (kira-kira 30Wp) dipecahkan walaupun diletak dalam protective cage.
Very intriguing to read through your posts. Only the parties

John 14:6-7 says it best I think. " I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye need to have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."
