The City of The 21st Century

Shanghai looks very beautiful..This is definitely the city of 21st century ..... The title perfectly mathces the city view..

I love that picture. What a great shot.

oh no, I have no office there - I am nobody :)
cool video

Hey John,

Great Video of Pudong. Awesome sights. I hope to get there one day. who knows when that will be.

So amazing, Awesome architecture ! :shock:

Shanghai is my next destination, will see how great is the building is and the food.Yummy..

Really amazing to see big buildings like these in China.

Shanghai become a modernization city with it is rapid development and good business climate, the China Government has a good planned on it, I think the people must change their negative imagination about business in Chinese country.

woah! That place looks crazy! I have to go!

If china keeps growing at the current pace it won't be long before they are the super-power of the world. I am very worried that we (Americans) will become another Canada, especially if Obama is elected.

I've been there last year. Shanghai is amazing! The 'flowers' are nice too!

Absolutely AWESOME! Looks like what Dubai will be in 5 years.

Very good picture. Some of those buildings are very impressive.

It looks like you are having a great time John. Shanghai is a beautiful place.

It's amazing so much has sprung up so quickly.

All these posts from China remind me of the book "Why Mexicans Don't Drink Molson". John, you should really check it out. It's about how Canadians are being eaten alive in the international markets, not because we *can't* compete but because we won't.

There's something to be said about being audacious in both business and in life.

That's certainly a way to lose your hard earned money, pay more for something than it's worth just to show you are wealthy. As an accountant, that must drive you crazy?

Sounds like you're really enjoy all the views on your trip John. That night pic looks amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

John.
VentureBlogster here. I hear that Shanghai is HUGE! I hope that you had a nice time over there. What are you doing there anyway? Are you on a long vacation? When are you coming back to the states? I have enjoyed your site, and I look forward to hearing more of your ideas!
Enjoy China and looking to hear from you soon!

Truly a beautiful city. I hope to visit it in the future.

I think someone should interview John. Just when you think that you have reached the full depth of his persona he surprises you with depth that truly reveals his unique character.

Email sent John :)

The night time part near the end was the best...it reminded me of the view from The Jetson's apartment.

Really impressive! Great video John indeed!

This trip of yours is becoming an education in and of itself for us readers about China and its cities. Amazing stuff. It's funny how amazing and modern the world is outside of the U.S. and North America. The average doesn't realize that, but these videos and posts provide the necessary transparency.

John uses his Flip for the videos. The city looks beautiful all lit up at night. Most big cities do, but I really like the different colors glowing. Must be nice to just get away and have no strings keeping you from doing what you want.

Enough with camera talk! This is about shanghai peoplez, sheesh.

Anyways, while the mall is very nice, I'd rather just order my stuff online and pay half as much. I may go in to walk around and see things, but most likely wouldn't really purchase anything(other than food).

Also the views and buildings in Pudong are amazing, but I can't help wonder what it looks like outside of the little "rich area" you are in?

I must say I am a great fan of Shanghai, the hard working people of Shanghai and the tall and beautiful buildings. And China being able to become the biggest economy in the future I am pretty sure Shanghai is the New York of Future

What a nice place to visit. I wish I go there some day. But I wouldn't trade Vegas to China ever....

awesome vid! i just got the Flip Ultra as well. You should get the Perian QT codec. It solves all the video compatibility issues with Flip & QT/FCP.

That's pretty badass, it really does look better than Vegas

I always like the view of Shanghai, and haven't got a chance to be there in real life. Truely envy John...

Just another thought I would like to know more about Mr. Chow. I would like to know if you were ever poor or struggling. Maybe someday I'll look through the site and see if you have mentioned that.

I dont see why people give a crap about what camera was being used...

I did enjoy the attitude in the video thats what I like to see. "They won't be nouvo rich for long"

I am a professional Video Producer. I would suggest trying to take still shots on the basis of 3 second intervals to correspond to the attention span of the Human being. The video is very good I'm just making a suggestion for quality purposes.

Pudong surely is impressive. I hope to vacation there someday. The structure's are beautiful, and like Jamie above said the building design is much different then the one's in a NYC where I'm from. It is actually tasty eye candy to me. Thanks for the gorgeous views John!

That's an awesome post, great picture.
What kind of a camera did you use to take it?
Have fun,
Anna

Great architecture! :shock:

John,

Good video. To flaunt riches is divine :D

John, you are in same shirt from two days, why don't you change the shirt. Any way you are good in shooting video.
