You're right it looks like a small town, not a city of millions. Our consumer society definitely has its problems but who would want the alternative?

If it's in public it's fair game. Next time I'm in SH to get high rez pics of the American embassy for all eyes to see. What a bunch of dbags. If it’s in public it’s fair game.

It's probably because the powerplants are only running halftime and there's no industrial production to smell things up.

That was hilarious, "get their god on". My brother and I use that when we are referring to Burger King, "lets get our King on!" I had a similar experience with the American Embassy/consulate in Shanghai when I tried to take a picture. These goons came out of nowhere and ripped my camera from my hands. It matter little to them that I am obviously a laowai and an american (although they intially didn't know that). They deleted the pictures for me, including those that were not of the embassy/consulate building, and handed it back. No explanation or apology, although it was fun to tell it later. Hek Yo!

It's hard to tell from the pictures since some seem to be pretty clear but other look like they have the same heavy smog that china does. What’s the air quality there like?
