Generally speaking, graffiti in Shanghai is an extremely rare sight. Buildings come and go at such a rapid pace that, even if an intrepid artist had touched up a particular wall, there's a good chance that said wall would have been demolished soon after ... The exception to this rule is Moganshan Road, where you can hardly take a step without spotting some graff. The area around Moganshan Road is Shanghai's art district where, luckily, the art isn't just confined to the galleries and shops.

A recent three week trip to China (mostly for fun but with a little business thrown in for good measure) provided an overabundance of photo opportunities and a range of fascinating experiences to impart with readers of the PhotoBox blog. With the Olympics soon to commence in Beijing and unprecedented economic growth stimulating a building boom the likes of which the world has never seen, the difficulty wasn’t deciding when to snap a photo but having the wherewithal to put the camera away at all!

Expat Perspective: Kimberly in Shanghai - "Razed"

Welcome to Expat Perspective, a series of posts by guest writers who come from X but are living long term in Y. Here's one from Kimberly, an American living and working in Shanghai ... and doing her best to document the rapidly changing cityscape. Thanks Kimberly!

Shanghai is tearing down old neighborhoods like crazy. Literally one day there is an old compound and the next it has been razed. I went walking around one of these razed compounds the other day and my friend snapped this shot.

No Slutty Chickens!

A friend went to Beijing recently. As he perused the menu he noticed that the Chinese characters for "young chicken" were translated into English as "chicken without sexual experience." I can't believe he didn't steal the menu.

Merry Christmas from Shanghai
