raised high above the ground . There were some intriguing birdseye views
of city life. At one time we were level with the top of an old apartment

with the family laundry drying around him. After a minute his father emerged
from a hatchway door to check up on his progress and give him some advice

reflecting the red sun in their watery glass surfaces. What a variety
of surprising archictectural forms! As we pulled into downtown it was
getting quite dark and the myriad neon signs of Shanghai greeted us.
