how much is it and can hand carry back for us?

thank you

Some photos of Shanghai!

Catchlights: Nothing much at the moment, but hope to snap more in Suzhou tomorrow.

#1 Shanghai Fried Dumplings (Cha Xiao Long Pao)

#2 In an antique watch shop (Mao's hand actually waves)

#3 Around the Yuan Gardens (Yi Yuan)

#4 Notice Starbucks

#5 Notice KFC

Sigh! Shanghai is now crowded with Macs, Starbucks, KFC, etc. For those of you planning to visit, come quick before it looks like Singapore.

ooo ... ykia, i see you went to Yu Yuan

well ... Shanghai has always been a trading hub, so i think it's actually quite exciting to see lots of foreign influences coming in and how they actually reshaped the local environment. Yu Yuan has long been a market centre of Shanghai (even in the ancient years of Shanghai county) the modernisation of that place has taken away the nostalgic flavour, but it's working fabulously as a contemporary shopping/trading centre that draws thousands of crowd (even locals) ... having said that what's really disturbing is the conversion of the many vibrant old town areas into versions 2, 3, 4 ... of the famous Xintiandi, replacing large areas of living low income residential areas with sanitized high income commerical zones ... the possible neglect for the less privileged is worrying from the social development point of view

happens when the server is slow and one gets impatient ... and the itchy finger clicks again :bsmilie:

{repeats to self} YU Yuan, YU, Yuan, YU Yuan...

Tell me about it, Xintiandi is now a mini Orchard Rd & Pauliner Brahaus, Coffee Bean, Hagaan Das.... sidewalk cafes in posh places with posh people hanging around. It doesn't look like you're in China at all.

Well, the poor were displaced, but only a few blocks away -- they were begging for money One young mother had her 3 yr old son sleeping on her lap while she sat on the roadside begging; broke my heart. Wanted to take a snap of her, but it will be too painful to keep looking at the photo, so I didn't.

yes, not pretty sights ... you'll also like to know that there are tens of thousands of posh condominiums left unoccupied around the city, but become speculators' toys ... there are plans for rehousing displaced residents of Shanghai, but often to the suburbs some 2 hour drive from the city centre, where their livelihood is.

aiya, 50mm how much only? just use as magnifying glass, or expensive paper weight lor... :bsmilie: repair cost might be more than the cost of a new 50mm
