A LOOK AT SHANGHAI

A view of a street market [not sure this is Shanghai].

I asked our guide--the rice harvest time is over and these men on a main street of Shanghai are hoping for work carrying some one's "bundles"---note the large baskets which each man has. [double click on picture to get the full effect!]


We went to the Shanghai zoo and saw the pandas!






We visited a jade museum in Shanghai and leaned that jade can be, and is, almost any color. These tiny musical instruments are all carved out of jade and were on sale at the gift shop. [no, we did not buy them--expensive].
