Getting Around Shanghai: August

Shanghai is a great place to walk around, and with a population of >20mil, there's lots of opportunities for people watching. There are also lots of creative forms of transportation, including:



The Motorcycle Family Transporter

The Bicycle Family Transporter

The Motorcycle taxi that doubles as a hammock

And my personal favorite, the KFC delivery bikes...thus allowing the Colonel's secret 11 herbs and spices to speed right to you door unencumbered by traffic

Besides a little taxi and subway action, we mostly walked while we were there. While walking I tried to grab a picture of a unique view of the old and the new...the hanging laundry down the street with the new skyscrapers in the background

We visited a Buddhist Shrine that weekend too. I forgot to write down the historical significance of this place, but this cool looking structure was off limits for tourists...locals said it was from the 1600s. There was a pretty good crowd of worshippers there too, and the monks doing their thing in the traditional robes and stuff.
