Shanghai pictures and the Great Hall

I am beginning to not like this site....a real pissoff....I can't get pictures to paste into here.....



Notice the built in gloves on the scooter.....not an unusual sight either. The tower on the right and the view of the convention centre from a different angle.

I give up. This is the fourth frigging time I tried to put some more pictures in this darn blog and darn is a real strenuous word right now...it take about 4 minutes to get one darn photo and then I lose it and then I don't know where to go except back to the original place and start all over again....I had 3 that I wanted to put in but maybe there is a limit to the number...anybody know???? Not only that I had a great set and then hit one button ..don't even know which one and ...pooof ....all gone...nice......





Above...the Great Hall of the People...we went there to watch the Russian ballet doing Swan Lake but it is used as their parliament...left picture...we were sitting way up at the top...centre picture shows the actual place where the politicians sit..I missed a chance to actually go down and stand on the floor..silly bugger....the third picture show the size of it and the next level that wasn't filled....


The three pictures above... an intersection with a whole potload of motorbikes...this was not an unusual sight...ever light woud have this many and more sometimes....The center picture is the needle and the big convention centre with two globes at either end....I think it holds around 5000 people at convention time....the right one...this is bamboo scaffolding and it is used in a lot of the lower buildings...not in the really high stuff at least not what I saw.

I hope to return to the site with some more pictures.....Enjoy the ones I was able to put on...there are a couple that I would like to put on...TTFN
