A model of the Shanghai World Expo that will occur in 2010.

A model of all of Shanghai.

The view out my hotel window.

Xi Tian Di, Shanghai.

Hangzhou, China

Hangzhou, China, not Holland.

Another day-trip from Shanghai. This is Hangzhou.

Shanghai night scenes.



It was incredibly hot. It was still this hot even at 10 at night!
