We came back!
And, while there, I managed to shoot a bunch of photos, mostly of Old Shanghai or what's left of it.
It was really great to see good friends again, send WeiMin off to get married to a nice lady, and gobble up as much food and old shanghai photos as possible.
See you lot next time around!!
 
#46 Somebodys front yard in Laoximen. As I was taking the photo, some policemen showed up and were absolutely excited about the camera. Always a talking point. They even gave me, yes you guessed it, some cigarettes!

#47 The front line. This is the very edge of what's left of Xiaonanmen, standing with construction sites and buildings surrounding it. It was a great place to be honest.

#48 Detail on the Front Row - this building should house around ten families - the boarded up area on the right is a fabric shop during the day.

#50 I managed to lean all the way in and take a shot of GodKnowsWhatThisIs. Not even the clock on the wall shows the right time. According to the sign this is a Retail Bank. No really, check the door!
