The Electronics Market



On Sunday I was confronted with a floating jar of Peanut Butter.



That was my introduction to the crazy technology markets of Shanghai. Out in front of a bazaar of small vendors selling all kinds of electronic equipment was a bunch of High Definition 3D televisions. Televisions that would hawk their sponsor's products by having them float out in front of you. It seemed to work on the same principle as those old 3D postcards with the grooved plastic over the image. I'm not sure what principle that is, but well, it looks 3D anyway.



The market itself was crowded with three floors of tiny booths that sold everything from computers to cameras, to little plastic pals to hold your earphones for you.

Quite enjoying your posts, dsgran... so keep it up! it may entice us to do a shanghai/HK trip in the hopefully near future... that's a great night shot of the pudong (almost wrote pudding) skyline too in the previous post.

The pictures of Pudong are amazing. Can we go back?

I'm sure we'll be back there plenty of times. The fireworks there for various occasions are supposed to be amazing!
