Shanghai


Ying Yu and I departed from LAX on March 28, 2013 and began the first part of the trip in Shanghai where we met up with Ying's wife Jean and grandson Javier.  We were in Shanghai for three days site with a ride on the MagLev train to and from the airport, visiting the site of the Shanghai 2010 World Expo (Broad Pavilion. China and Saudi Arabia Pavilions), downtown Shanghai, shops at the Yu Gardens and eating as shown on the following video (click on arrow and ball to open and view and double click to enlarge video screen):

I took over 700 pictures on this trip, some of which are included in video form with music and many have been excluded.   Since I am the one usually taking and posting pictures and videos, I was most appreciative of Ying taking pictures of me as well as the rest of our travel group as illustrated on this first video of our overall  trip:


During our stay in Shanghai, we had an appointment and personal tour of the Broad China Expo Building that supplied heating and cooling and air cleaners to the many other expo pavilions during Shanghai's 2010 World Expo:
