your photograph exquisitely captures the shanghai i remember from my trip in '05. it's a marvel, in so many ways. but it is so difficult to get past the choking pollution. actually -- not difficult so much as impossible.

wonderful photograph of what *is*.

This is SHANGHAI???I thought this was New York. In fact this looks BETTER than New York which, despite all the hype, looked pretty lack-lustre to my eyes this time. The subways are dirtier, the blacks angrier, the whites even more confused and the economy jittery. I wish New York well. It was a my dream place, once upon a time when I was young.
