September 16 Shanghai

I am not sure quite what we expected in Shanghai, but the combination of Chicago circa 1929 and ultramodern skyscrapers all built since 1990 was a bit surprising in this historic place. I think that there are 23 million people in the city. Hard to comprehend. Very impressive how quickly the city has grown. People from all over China come here for sightseeing and the streets around our very elegant Art Deco hotel are teeming with people. A trip to a beautiful Chinese garden has given me more inspiration for mine at home
