i finally spent time in Japan and Japan's cultural capital, Kyoto, swept me off my feet......i was sad to say good-bye. but i did.  

now i am back in Shanghai preparing another farewell and looking forward to what is always on the other side of a farewell: a new beginning.

I agree. We are dat. 

This fan is so ready for the Saints football season and cannot wait to get crunk all the way to the Super Bowl. Again. Also, GO NOLA picked the photo above as their flickr pick of the week. Nice.

i'm a Maglev fan

photo: charlanebrady, Shanghai 2010

the fun part about arriving at Pudong International Airport is taking the Shanghai Maglev Train....it's fast (268mph or 431 km/h) and you get a great view of Shanghai. but i still prefer fast motorcycles and fast cars.

no Biwan for me

photo: charlanebrady, Seoul 2010

finally found the Changdeok Palace, made it up to the Biwan gate (photo above) and i was turned away. i missed the start of the 2-hour guided tours to view the Biwan which is a Secret Garden (an old pleasure garden for royalty back in the day). oh well, being lost in Seoul for the hours before was a blast. Seoul swept me off my feet!

rare occurrence in Shanghai

photo: charlanebrady, Shanghai 2010

people on bikes and in cars are actually stopping at a cross walk, certainly an-all-too rare occurrence.

while Haibao, my favorite, makes a not-so-rare occurrence lurking in the background.
