Who is that little kid?

 

Thank you Pryuen! I enjoyed these pictures very much! You effort is appreciated. Y

 

Those are too absolutely adorable. Those kids look like they are in seventh heaven!

Thanks for the pics!

 

Thanks for sharing the photos. Call me old but my goodness these pictures look like were taken from Paris rather than China. Last time I was in China was some 16 years ago. Back then even the best areas of Shanghai and Bejing did not look nearly as "up scale" as what's seen in these pictures. Talk about fast economic development. Is China officially out of the "third world" yet?

 

Shanghai is, that's for sure. What a city!

 

Born and raised in the vicinity of the area shown in these pictures, I have to say I am still not quite used to these scenes during my visits back to Shanghai in recent years. The modernization of the city on the whole scale, which didn't take place until early-mid 1990s, has been nothing but dramatic, fast-paced, and breath-taking. In some odd way I feel quite nostalgic about some of the old streets and buildings, but maybe that's just me.

 

I didn't because I was at work.. I will have to try it here while I am at home.
