China BMW Rider Blog: Uyghur Alleyway in Shanghai

Hello.

This was a late afternoon cruise through a small alleyway in downtown Shanghai. It was pretty rough looking, typical to what most of Shanghai used to look like. Surprisingly I found an entire neighborhood of Uyghur families, from China's remote northwestern Xinjiang province.

China BMW Rider Blog: A Brush with the Military

Hello.

I was out in my F800GS for a late afternoon cruise by some new construction along Shanghai's south bund. I was trying to stay focused on some of the old buildings being destroyed, along with the new construction. But then all of a sudden I was riding past a military base and soldiers where out on the street running and doing pushups. An odd moment.

China BMW Rider Blog: The Black Cat

Hello.

This was a late afternoon cruise by the new Shanghai Expo site along the south bund in Shanghai, China. And this afternoon I took my BMW F800GS through one of Shanghai's tunnels in Central Shanghai, to reach the various parts of the Shanghai Expo site. I did come across a bit of bad luck along the way as a black cat crossed my path while I was riding. What a horrible thing to have happen. But, after putting that behind me I can say that the construction going on for the new Shanghai World Expo 2010 is a great example of "New Shanghai", full of sky scrappers, modern buildings, and highways.
