China is Turning 60. Happy Birthday!

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

As the govermen prepares to celebrate 60 years of the ruling Communist Party this weekend, Shanghai – typically a more westernized city – is being transformed into a propoganda machine. Not only does the famed red flag adorn almost every free space of real estate but the government has begun to scale back American presence through a more tightly controlled permit approval process for events and zero permission for billboard or storefront changeouts the month leading up to this weekends celebration. I can’t even imagine what beijing will be like in both good and bad ways. Coupled with the fact that I’ve been reading a history of Mao book it’s all very interesting to watch as it unfolds around me. Subtle, but not.

The Shanghai Zoo

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

JiYoung and I headed out to the Shanghai Zoo for our first time. It’s a cool place. Pretty beautiful with a solid lineup of animals – from bears to dogs!! Another crazy thing people do is FEED the animals!! This picture is people throwing bread to an adult bear. I was also able to wake up a sleeping polar bear by chucking bread over a wall to him. Fun times – this is definitely china.
