Tangtown


Tangtown in Pudong is undergoing rapid development; about half of the town is being demolished and new buildings are springing up everywhere. According to the town's website, there are ambitious plans to turn this region into a major transportation hub and one of Shanghai's five designated areas for foreigners. Not that foreigners are limited to where they can live nowadays, but big villas are in an abundance. What is supposed to really transform this town is the new subway station (line #2), which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2009 (give or take a year or two, is my experience).
Apart from that, it's been a frustrating month for biking; I either had a cold or it was pouring rain. Knock on wood for this coming weekend...
