There were meetings, there were deployment tests it was good and informative.  We found some good news and some issues we need to resolve.

The diversity here in Shanghai is striking.  There is a mall wherein you can get any phone of camera you could possibly want.  Rows of iPhones.  Cameras. PCs.  But the prices are the same as in the US, so why buy it here.

And then you see a guy riding down the street on a bicycle with the back piled high with cardboard.

And then you see the street full of Lexus and Audis.

And then you see people sweeping the street with ancient brooms.

And then you see the HUGE LCD screens on the side of buildings.

It's got everything.

Anyways here are a few more camera pics.

Mall of America...er Metro Tower Mall.

Here we have a couple more of my fellow Microsofties.  Karthik and Rich along with Garrett.  We are very near the Microsoft office in Shanghai on a pedestrian overpass over a very busy downtown intersection.

Same place at night.
