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.
