I took it last summer from the TV tower during a short visit to Shanghai. It was a hazy July afternoon, but i darkened the image a little bit.
That's great if you want to use it!
Best wishes.

Those were nice photos of the West Lake. One reminded me of this one I took last year. The good news for my wife and me is that we will stay in Hangzhou for 3 months this spring. I look forward to the good food also.

December 8, 2008 at 4:27 AMMany years ago I ate at a restaurant in Chengdu that claimed to have invented 麻婆豆腐. We picked up the dish at a window, and the last thing they did was to top it with a spoon of ground peppercorns. It was great, but I was perspiring so much that a 服务员 brought me a bowl of broth unsolicited. Even better, there were ladies selling ice cream just outside.

Very interesting topic, the architecture of Shanghai, and interesting guest also. I managed to get a shot of this iconic building on a trip last year, after first photographing it in 1983. There were no high-rises at that time.

August 17, 2008 at 6:33 PMIs that correct, that one should not say
两位人 liǎng weì rén,
for example, in response to
几位？ jǐ weì ?
Does that mean that a more specific term for a person is understood in the original question?
Posted on: Jazz and China from a Different Perspective
August 2, 2008 at 5:25 PMI'm curious about jazz at the Peace Hotel 和平饭店 in Shanghai. I saw a group of elderly Chinese playing jazz there in 1983. Supposedly they were the same musicians from the early years. The hotel was closed for renovations when I visited Shanghai last year.

How about caregiver?
I think some are using that term.
