The traveler, hungry, returns to a simple home. Dinner consists of bread similar to the sort found in the Czech Republic. (No, really! Look about 3/5 of the way down
this page.) This bread, in vegetables covered, makes for a good meal. The night long, relaxed. Advice on farming plays on a local television station. The hostess sits and chats. Conversation turns to travels past. Only a few days ago, the traveler arrived in Shanghai...
Modern Shanghai! The city which launches a thousand ships (
per 5 wks)! Our traveler arrived on a early Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon to leave. How could she see Shanghai so quickly?
A hero, from among a sea of travelers, emerges!
The pair sets out, meandering to, then through, the Museum of Urban Planning, photographing architecture.
Blues and greens!
Buildings in a matched set!
The Shanghai World Financial Center and JinMao rise to the sky.
The friends follow. On the 88th floor, meeting children, seeing Shanghai fade into the distance.
Gazing in awe down one of the highest, most beautiful atriums in the world.
Walking along the crowded Bund at night, all out enjoying the warm night air and watching the skyline lights over the river (and through the smog).
Nightlife beckons to no avail; the pair heads home for a Date with Mystery Science Theater.
In the morning, a chocolate and icecream breakfast, a quick Xiaolongbao break, a dash through the train station.
The traveler settles into the middle seat of a short-distance train, rests.
