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!!
 
#26 One-day work trip to Minhang. It was nice to see everyone. The Star River Complex is still there, it's grown bigger, and it's also still completely empty. Tim tells me that they even tried to accommodate their visitors in the five star hotel of the complex, but had to stop because it was just too eerie to be the only occupant in a 5000+ flat development.

#27 Line 1 is the oldest metro line in Shanghai. Cuts right across the city, south west to north east. This is one of the furthermost out stops which, apparently, doesn't see much useage.

#28 Back in Laoximen, business as usual. There is still a lot going on, the immediate are hasn't been too affected by the building craze and people are still running the daily business.

#29 Like selling meat. This isn't refrigerated, so it better get sold today. Just one item in the wonderful world of shanghainese food safety.

#30 On the Fujing Road footbridge, a gentleman has propped up a shoe shine business. Good idea if you ask me. Lots of traffic. Also a quite nice view into Laoximen.
