From time to time, I will post some random photos of this city. There is no particular topic, just to record the daily life, and to keep a record of my life for myself to reference in the coming years.
The Manhole Cover
Below is the current version of the manhole found at the crossroad near my home. It reads: Shanghai Shui (meaning Shanghai Water).

Manhole Cover is a unique thumbprint for a city. It is generally of the same round shape across the whole world, but there are completely different patterns on it.
Here is the drawing I made when I was in Beijing:

How good/bad is the drawing?
The difference is, there is very few such manhole in Shanghai - it was for heating system - no such a thing, at least not in large scale, in Shanghai.
