It was such a beautiful day here in Shanghai. All week, I had been inside working away on translation work with a partner company and various heavy stuff - conf calls, etc.

My wife arrived back from working in Melbourne for a week. We decided to get some fresh air and to stretch those less used legs of ours. Hers were from 12+ hours flying and mine from 12+ hours sitting in front of a computer.

I thought this picture said a lot about our city. Everything was so "modern" but here we were still had people making a living carting used lumber to god knows where for a small salvage fee. And they were so happy to pull the used wood away. Sorry for the not so clear pic. I only had my iPhone 3G S taking a picture directly into the sun. The man was pulling the cart and the woman was encouraging him. There were three carts similar went by before I could snap one.
