In November 2007 during my first week in China I wondered where all the people were, 1.3 billion? I'd hadn't seen many of them during my travels to Guilin and Beijing. China seemed to have much the same population density as anywhere else in the world. Then I arrived in Shanghai on a Sunday afternoon and found them all. They were shopping in Nanjing Road. All of them! I'd never seen retail like it. I couldn't even get in to some of the shops - standing room only, if you can push your way in that is! Nanjing Road was an experience. I took this photo with my camera phone at dusk while standing on the Bund in Shanghai, which is at the end of Nanjing Road.
