Ohne Worte :-)
Shanghai at night
Night is the right time for night pictures - this is the view from our balcony at night. The blue ship is an American style sightseeing ship.
This is the construction site of the Shanghai World Financial Center in Pudong. It will be the highest tower in Shanghai when it is finished. They of course build it directly next to the currently highest tower of Shanghai - the Jin Mao. The top of the new building reached at around half of the Jin Mao tower, which has nearly 90 floors. 
Today is the last day before the Chinese Labour Day Holiday (1. of May until 7. of May). Because of that Chinese flags can be seen everywhere on the street - many street lamps also have these flags. I'll leave Shanghai on Monday for four days to flee from all the tourists that are arriving. :-)
I'm working in the Zhangjiang HighTech Area in Shanghai/Pudong. In this area you can also find the new German Centre which has plenty of offices to offer. They also have parties from time to time.
There is currently a lot of construction work going on here. Two more metro lines will have a station here. This is also a preparation for the Expo 2010.
My office is also nearby the Maglev (Transrapid) Terminal station in Pudong. You can see the maglev station in the back of this picture. The building in front is the metro station (metro line no. 2).
Difficult decision - which beer should it be tonight?
