they were taken on different days from my father's apartment in shanghai

七铺路的街景 street scenes from qi-pu road

 qi-pu road is an area where the excitement is for all your senses and bargaining skills - 
the busy market under the train tracks, the second hand (antique) shops, and the colourful street eateries.
nothing goes to waste and there is an activity in every corner,
day and night.

出嫁之日

note: only "the rich" can afford to buy pyjamas,  
so please do not over look this statement



晒衣服 laundry

不管在哪儿,衣服总是要晒的。
no matter where you go in shanghai, 
the familiar sight of laundry 
(translated as "sunning the clothes") 
will never be far
