Random Pictures from Around Shanghai










































































































I





Have been having lots of problems getting picutres to upload onto the blog both on board the ship and in the nternet Cafes. Just bear with me while I try and best way to resolve this problem!

Side note -- sea has been very rough as soon as we left China. Although the son is finally shining and it is much warmer, we are all reminded about the challenges we face daily teaching and working under an ever rolling sea :(((

Now I am now in Bankok and at an Internet Cafe where I seem to be able to upload some random pictures, including one from the local newspaper about the terrible fog in Shanghai. So here they are!
At the top you are seeing a model of the city I photographed at the Urban Development Center that shows how the city will develop by the year 2010, when the World Expo will arrive here. It is trully incredible and makes you re-think China as a "developing country"...

Wait till BKK and the internet connections gets better. I was in Vietnam for the past 15 days and it was like i was back to those days of working with 2400 baud modems. Coming back to Tokyo feels like i have travelled forward in time.

Meeting Sam today. Ted & he have finally succeeded in opening the institute in Tokyo.
