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!!

#52 拆 - Chai -
52 拆 - Chai - "Demolish" - is the sign that gets sprayed onto the buildings that are scheduled for, well, demolition. I ran into an entire neighborhood that, from the outside looked like this:

#53 Intact facades, some indicating that buildings are very old indeed (think 200+ years), and when you peek through the foggy windows you see the following.

#54 Rubble, rubble, rubble, with sofas still there, matresses, and basically everything that was on the top floor lying around on the ground floor.
