The dark city

Maybe coming from Japan, makes me feel this way, but everything in Shanghai is dark. Even when there are lights on nothing is too bright. I always feel as if I need to screw the lightbulbs in tighter, or get new bulbs altogether.  Not seeing the sun during the day I think has also played a roll in the feel of the city.  Things are dusty, dirty, and under construction. I haven't been snapping photos off like I did in Tokyo, but here are a bunch from my first full week here in the city that flies.
