Low-rise housing iof any age is a rare sight in Shanghai as land is so costly or even more importantly, virtually non-existent for such a low density use.

Shanghai, as well as other major cities in China, is now moving forward to improve daily life a bit easier for people who are mobility impaired though admitedly it has a long way to go.

You'll have a great time visiting Bangkok, Thailand as there is so much to see and do. Start with a look-see via a bus ride and then take more time for more serious sightseeing afterwards. And have your camera ready to take photos no matter what.

The telephone wiring you see here is sometimes so tangled up and complex that it is often called a "bird nest"

Walking or riding via bus or tuk-tuk, you'll certainly see and learn many new and interesting things when you visit Bangkok, Thailand.

My hour's bus ride still isn't up yet so my camera stays busy shooting away through the closed and dusty window glass.
