Is It Still Peking Duck If You're In Shanghai?


The glorious platter of duck packets


Flying into Shanghai reminded me of flying into Chicago. The urban sprawl centers on a few disparately tall spires surrounded by structures barely knee-high in comparison, fading out to the single-family homes in the almost imperceptible distance. The crush of people in China is like rush hour on the DC Metro… except it's like that all the time. A civilized scooter society has been cultivated, though I don't know whether it's due to government oversight or too many people already on the sidewalk.
