Commerce

Just another mall in Shanghai. Downtown Shanghai is full of shopping malls. All of those tall building you see in the pictures. Each one probably has a mall in it.

Buying A Stairway

Buying A Stairway

Sometimes GPS will send you on a wild goose chase. According to Google Maps and Baidu Maps my bank was inside this building. In reality this building was still under construction. The only thing inside was this lovely staircase and a couple of security guards.

After the Apocalypse

After the Apocalypse

Rainy days are the best days to explore China. For whatever reason, Chinese people hate the rain. If it’s raining you will have the entire city to yourself. This is the Pudong area of Shanghai at about 10am on a Friday. Normally it would be packed with people.

Hi MOM!

Hi MOM!

It’s been awhile. Things are going to be busy this semester in the PRC. Besides teaching classes, I’ve also started my MA in Applied Linguistics. My postings are going to be few and far between for the next little while. Until next time here’s a view of the Museum of Monterey, aka MOM.

Last Light at Lobos

Last Light at Lobos

During my recent trip to California I got to visit one of my favorite places in the world, Point Lobos. This is the last shot I took that day. Moments later the sun was gone and it was time to return to the car.

Roadside Attractions

Another break in the regular scheduled programming. One of the more interesting things about the USA is our love for roadside attractions. This particular roadside attraction is the Cabazon Dinosaurs in California. I’ve been going past these things since I was a wee lad. My parents would stop here on our way back from the Colorado River to eat at the Wheel Inn Restaurant. Some of you, of a certain age, may recognize them.

A Quick One While I’m Away

Point Awesome aka Point Lobos

I’m in California visiting friends and family until February 7th. Here’s a cell phone pic to tide the blog over until I get back to China and can process all the photos I’ve taken.

One of my favorite places in California, and the world, is Point Lobos. It’s one of the most beautiful places on Earth and you never know when you’ll come across a wildlife party.
