It is such a sunny Saturday here in the city of Shanghai. Good weather gives me very good mood. It rained for 3 days in the last week. I am caught by one of the rain that I was completely wet although I have a umbrella. You can imagine how happy I am to have the sunny (Satur)Day.
New Scanner
With the wedding ceremony in Luoyang coming soon, we decided to create a grant website for the event and create some videos to be played. We have hundreds of photos that need to be scanned. So I rushed into the computer store and bought a Founder F5580 scaner. Just guess the price - 320 RMB (36 USD). It is much cheaper than before - I am not sure whether this price is higher or lower than that in U.S.

There are some 500 RMB scanners with 1200dpi resolution. I believe that 600dpi is good enough for me since 300dpi can produce a picture twice as large as the computer screen from a 6' photo.
Lupu Bridge
Everyday, I will pass the Lupu Bridge in taxi. As the world largest arch bridge, it is almost completed - at least from the eyes of a outsider - the shape and the roads seem be to have been ready. Today, however, is the first day we went onto the bridge - due to the left-turn road construction, all traffic were directed to the bridge and take U-turn on the bridge, then run to the original direction. Hard to understand, isn't it? Refer to the map below - the original left-turn road were blocked and we took right turn, then u-turn on the bridge (dotted line in the map).

I am very excited to see the splendid new bridge. I didn't bring camera with me. So check this picture of the bridge which was taken 7 months ago.

When completed, it will offer a shortcut from Puxi to Pudong, espcially the Pudong Airport. The Nanpu bridge will be off loaded.
