Rainy Saturday in Shanghai

For a few days in China where we had meetings with Seneca's partner institutions in Shanghai yesterday. Today - a rainy Saturday - I went for a walk. As always the interesting contrast of the "old" and the "new" in a city like this.

A restaurant with Indian cuisine in a street with the traditional buildings. Also Spanish and Italian restaurants around the corner and more and more competitors for Starbucks...

And already a real Christmas atmosphere in our hotel, complete with European style mini train and landscape (like I had at the attic of my parents home in Holland 50 years ago). Interesting...

Tonight on our way for a few days exploring a new partnership opportunity in the Hunan province. Just five days on the ground here this time. Back to Toronto again on Tuesday.
