Acrophoria

On Sunday I spent the day exploring on my own: strolled through parks, waved off watch vendors, squeezed onto the Huangpu River Ferry, roamed the east river bank, waved off toy vendors, checked out the Oriental Pearl Tower...


...stood atop the glass platform observation deck 850 feet above Pudong...


...didn't crap myself, shot a ton of video/pics of the smoggy skyline...


...shot one pic of greasy photog...


...rode 1980's psychedelic Disney tunnel tram back to The Bund...


walked to Metro station, waved off iPad vendors, rode Metro to Malone's to get burger and beer, walked the gauntlet of East Nanjing Road, waved off vendors, and got back to hotel in time to Skype home to hear about the cupcake preparations that I was missing (bu hao!)
