The Phlog Phart 1

I'm going to try to post some interesting pictures here and write somewhat amusing captions about them. Here we go.



I'm not quite sure if it's a problem with my camera, or there's really this much smog. I'm guessing the latter. This is a pretty random photo of downtown Shanghai. Nothing really notable other than the fact that you really can't see that far.


This is around the block from my house. It's a random storefront for Spyker automobiles. There's a Bentley one not too far from it. There is a good amount of money flying around this place.

There are also some pretty poor people here. Like every good journalist I enjoy stating the obvious and backing it up with choice examples.

Condom machines are scattered around the city. There seem to be some of them on almost every block, probably to help reinforce that whole one child thing. This one appears to be advertising AIDS. I'm sold.

And here's both of those things, sort of. In the foreground, a semi-ghetto area. In the background is Pudong, which has some really gigantic buildings. Dichotomies are fun!
