A short visit back in Shanghai led us to the Pudong Riverfront, where the views of the Bund are spectacular. Here where you can see the past, present and future. The Bund is a Shanghai landmark, representing a time when in the 1840's where all the major players in Shanghai commerce built there offices and created the distinctly grandiose skyline. We also watched tankers and commericals on boats float by, literally. Some of those tankers may be heading to San Francisco, where we have seen them arrive. Pudong is one of the newest areas of China and certainly where the future lays. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is quick impression up close. The Jjnmao Tower, 88 stories tall is a great way to take a good look at the expansive city. You can almost hear China breathing when you visit. Of course no momumental spot is safe from "Hooters". I suppose some things transcends cultures and oceans.
