Finally been able to rummage through photos. This is my second post on Shanghai the first one dealt with the close ups on objects and there will be plenty of those in the future. This second post has to deal with the people in shanghai from the night life, to the stark contrast in poverty and wealth that is quite obvious in the view from my hotel room. This is still in Shanghai I will be posting Nanjin, Shuzhou, and Putuoshan in later parts.
Set to a tidbit of info:
The two Chinese characters in the name “Shanghai”, (上, shàng; and 海, hǎi) literally mean “up, on, or above” and “sea” The earliest occurrence of this name dates from the Song Dynasty (11th century), at which time there was already a river confluence and a town with this name in the area.”

Photos from a farm in Gray County about 10 mins outside of Collingwood. Where you can off-road and do some dog sledding.

What you can’t do in Toronto is buy Leaf tickets and while in Chicago I managed to snag some Hawks vs. Leafs tix.
set to odds of winning:
Game Time : 8:35 PM
Vegas Odds: Toronto Maple Leafs 1.5 and the over/under 6
Offshore Sportsbooks Odds: Toronto Maple Leafs 1.5 and the betting total 6
Leafs lost unfortunately, but when you take a look at the date Friday Nov 13, 09 you can see why…

Chicago, concepts, rants
2 trips to chicago now only solidify my love for that city. Here are some photos that I have taken showcasing Chicago. I even included an image of the way they celebrate St. Patrick when the river gets dyed green.

“I met this girl when I was three years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don’t know me- but,
My name is Windy and, I like to blow trees and,
From that point I never blow her off,”
