First week in Shanghai


The 'great china fire wall' prevents blogging from our apartment.  We have snuck around the wall to publish from Bruce's office.


We've arrived in crazy Shanghai.  This iconic view from the Bund is only topped by one from a bar inside one of these high-rises…martini in hand...
The streets are not quite as chaotic as Mumbai but just as dirty and you always need to watch that you're not run over by a stack of cardboard on wheels.
Many small groups of men meet in parks to play games (cards here)

Barracuda for sale in the wet market 3 blocks from our apartment…not sure I'm brave enough to attempt cooking them.. and also a bit nervous about the heavy metals in the locally caught fish.
