Bicycles and Horns

There's no doubt about it. Shanghai is an amazing city.
Once you get used to the frantic traffic, beeping horns and throngs of people, this place really does have lots to offer.
The city has a static population of 21,000 with another 10,000 floaters so with these numbers, the only way is up! Everywhere you look, there are tower blocks after tower blocks.
A view from the Bund and you see the modern Shanghai with the names of famous world banks lit up for all to see. At one stage, a third of the world's cranes were located here.
In the last ten years, the city has grown out of all proportion and, just by looking around, you see that the vast majority of people lead a very modern lifestyle.
