Shanghai- French Concession Pictures

French Concession

I've been a little busy this past month, so this time I'm just going to share a short poem I wrote about Shanghai, and also show some pictures of my neighborhood, the French concession.

In my next entries I will talk more about Shanghai, and my trip to Beijing.



Oh Shanghai! Beautiful packing city

bicycles rule, men spit on your shoes,

kids begging for money outside the night clubs.

Oh Shanghai! Recycle oil in your food,

colorful buildings and a French voice

Rude people, fried dumplings, and the barbecue boy.

Oh Shanghai! Expensive coffee with terrible English

the fastest train in the world, the fake market

Chinese medicine, red Ferraris, and Kung Fu.

Oh Shanghai! The peasant, the rich, the poor

The lies they hide, the face they are afraid of,

Sunday morning, century park, marriages without love.

Oh Shanghai! The communist Panda

So big, so black so white, so you.









Stay in touch!
