This was the first time a carnival of this type has ever been to
Shanghai. It reminded me of being a kid, growing up in a small town,
and looking forward to the carnies that would come every so often.
This one was a little more 'solid' than those, but it definitely had several
of the same characteristics. One major difference in this one and the
ones in the small towns.......PEOPLE!!! TONS of PEOPLE!!!
Did I mention that it RAINED! We actually say lightning hit the top of
the Jin Mao tower, one of the tallest in Shanghai. The steam from the
vaporized water on the top of the tower caused quite a cloud to form.
