I had some extra time today after (my last day of) work, so I took the 703 back to Shanghai Stadium from a school out in boonies because I knew it would pass through the neighborhood I taught in every morning last semester, which is still pretty much out in Shanghai's boonies. The whole city in that area below Xinzhuang looks a lot more "finished" now than just 6 months ago, very green and full of people. It's amazing how fast this place is changing.
