Best of Shanghai 2

In the end, this was the crop I liked best. Check out that bike! These sorts of gerry-rigged bikes were super common in China, many times piled high with all sorts of things.
Indeed, I'd say the traffic was about 30% two wheeled in the city.
In a park near the French Concession in Shanghai, people practice Tai Chi.
Not only in front of cherubs but also under the watchful eyes of Marx and Engles.
The Bund at night. I might have well been on Mars.

A peddler sells long strings of kites at night.
Oh the glitz.
Oh, the communism. Lovers sneak a little alone time in one of Shanghai's "citizen's squares"

I would like to validate your existence.
Specifically the non-centered pictures. They show that the context of an item is equally important to the thing itself. Good job.
