Today John and I went to the Shanghai World Financial Center - the building has the world's highest observatory at 474 meters. There are observations decks on floors 94, 97, and 100 with the glass floor on the 100th floor. The building has a rectangular hole near the top so there is a view through the glass floor (the building looks a bit like a hand-held bottle opener). It was hazy today so the view wasn't very far. I have included a photo of the building from the car, John standing on the glass floor, and a couple views.
The 100th floor observation deck with the glass floors. The floor, window walls, and ceilings are all reflective material and so many photos I took included reflections of myself and those around me.
As we drove around the city, most of the residential windows had laundry hanging. Very few people have washers and dryers. Clothing and linens were hanging everywhere from the short apartment buildings to the high-rises.
Bikes are a well used mode of transportation and motorized bikes/ scooters are a quick way through the congested traffic.
We found a Mr. Donut and decided to try the Chinese version of donuts. We got chocolate and green tea. Both were very good although different from any donut I have tasted.
