Shanghai
Kind of miss Shanghai.
I recently paid a visit home and took some videos.When I showed to my friends of Shanghai at night, there were lots of "whoa", "nice", "great". Shanghai is get more and more beautiful, day and night, if not just the same old city in my memory.
One thing new about Shanghai is now there are hundreds of thousands migrants in Shanghai. They are every where, selling the vegetables, selling small home appliances, delivering milk, babysitting, housekeeping, doing your namecards, couriers, etc. Almost half of Shanghai families have one "ahyi" (maid), slowly becoming part of the family. Shanghainese start to feel the inconvenience taking crowded buses or subways or going shopping. But they feel the biggest inconvenience when these migrants were home for the Chinese new year. No milk, no fresh veggies, no babysitting, nowhere to buy good and cheap household stuff......
My point is, migration (or immigration, in our case) is always a good and bad thing. The city is enjoying her developing both in hardware and software. People from different background are understanding each other. There is no reason, to look down upon anyone, not Shanghainese to any migrants, or any non-Shanghainese to Shanghainese. I don't like the recent posts of those anti-Shanghainese for no reason. If the people in the city thousands of miles from here under a system we have always complained about can at least understand each other, why some of us still want to challenge these stupid argument? Especially we have all immigrated to a new country, new city hoping to start a good life.
There is nothing wrong with Shanghai or Shanghainese, it just another city, with good and bad people living in it, generous and stingy, hero or coward, smart and dumb. So let it be it.
Just some thoughts. No intention to offend anyone. Let's stop any offensive language with no sound ground.

Re: Shanghai
Good point.
Shanghai is a city, which is a place that numerous people are gathering. I know Shanghai and her people have problems. What I can say is Shanghai is somewhat still dirty, she has environment pollution that is still not resolved but being resolved. Shanghai has people that are good, better or even best, but she also has people that are bad, worst or even worst. But to be sincere, it is always easy to forget about the good and to stamp the bad in the brain. At least once I was like that. So, let's cherish this chance, the chance that we are here, here in Ontario, in Canada. Or even later on we face more and more Chinese from else where. Let's take this chance to get more familiar with each other. One thing I am sure, there are always more "good" people than "bad" people in a general group. I mean general, not a specific one. But of course, every general group has her own charactoristics. But if they don't get in your way, and hurt you, do they really count that much?

早帖点儿我就不写英语了。
我是去年10月份中旬回去的。我自己住在徐家汇附近，和我到加拿大时相比，那里有些变化。我贴的照片是徐家汇和她附近的公立公园。那里原来的大中华橡胶厂给搬迁了，成了一块绿地。照片是我老爸拿着我送他的G2拍的。听我老爸说，那里是法式园林和黄披路的差不多。后来又到东北角我的大学母校去看了看，五角场的变化不大。上海干净一些了，不过管理还是有些混乱。乱穿马路的比比皆是，自行车还是不那么收规矩。原来想在上海租辆车开的，结果发现不敢，司机各个勇猛无敌，只好象论坛上说的那样以1.8米的高度在15-25KM/H运行。还有一点就是我觉得上海的物价奇贵。就是吃的便宜。回去对被冠以“中华第一美味”的大闸蟹大会朵贻了一番。这儿因为法律上的原因不能进口，所以我等是无富享受的。
最大的变化是浦东，但是由于时间关系，我也没有办法游览一番，只是看看夜景。可能我个人的原因，我已经很习惯于加拿大的生活，对上海热闹非凡的景象已经提不起兴趣来了。不过话说回来，长期来看，只要中国不出大乱，上海一定能超过香港。上海潜力很大，而且她正在一条向将自己建设好的道路上前进。
