From a Starbucks Balcony
But there was literally not one seat in this enormous Starbucks..I had to sit out on the cold balcony. I could see the thousands of people flocking in this giant shopping square of Western Shanghai. And this is nothing! Another initial observation: THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN CHINA!!! It is amazing to fathom that each person has their own story, own history, can trace roots to some distant farmlands, whether 1, 2 or 10 generations back. And in Shanghai, you'll find people from all corners of China, maybe the first one's in their entire family history to ever venture outside of their home province! Incredible!
