| Old Shanghai - the normal chaotic market streets near Olivier's apartment. This area of the old town is slated for demolition to make room for more modern development. |
A few blocks further we find our way into the Yu Garden area with well preserved older buildings, catering mainly to tourists, most of whom are Chinese. There is an obvious western influence.

| Starbucks is front and centre |
Ursula is with our hosts/guides, Olivier and Emiie, on the red carpet ready to receive their Oscars at a film opening.
On the way back to the apartment we pass the place where the Chinese Communist party was formed.
