I went to the Shanghai Expo 2010 promo exhibition on Sunday with some friends. They had a lot of cool old maps of Shanghai as well as plenty of then and now photos. What was very interesting was that the difference between 1930 and 1980 was nothing compared to the the difference between 1980 and 2006.

The coolest part of the exhibit was the huge model of Shanghai that took up one full floor. Everyone was doing the same thing, pointing and trying to find out where they lived. It's pretty impressive realizing how vast Shanghai has become.

I've put an arrow marking the spot where I live. If you can guess the street corners I'll send you a CD. Hint: Suzhou Creek is in the lower right. (You'll have to click on the photo and scroll around to really see what's going on.)

Send me my CD! I know exactly where you live: In the shadow of The Beige Pillar, next to The Creaky Green Metal Catwalk!!!

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
