   wouldn't it be cool if little pixie humans inhabited the model city at night?
   i dare someone to to the museum, sneak in past closing and peer into a few of the apartment windows.
   could you imagine how small their rice wine cups are??

   Too bad they lack a lot of human rights. The government controlled media filters the new content worst than NBC.

    Woaw it's an impressive city model but I think that it is too much clean. This is too much beatiful.

    Wow that was much work to build it, wasn't it? But it's a nice model of Shanghai. I really like that. But I never want to clean it, that would be too much work for me, I think

    I think there are some 20 cities in China with over 8 million people that you and I have never even heard of!

    I find the assault on nature kind of disheartening. Too much concrete...

    So they expect one day Shanghai will be "finished" and there won't be hundreds of cranes? That's one of the first things you notice there - how many construction cranes there are.

    Isn't there any scale-sized mass transit in the city? That would make it almost as good as Roadside America . . .

    America has to step it up because China is coming up and America is coming down with its 9 trillion dollar debt. God does not bless America anyone, we killed it, threw it away, and ignoring it. Good Job!
    But .. it doesnt have to end like this if we get our American roots back..

    I guess that if you have to accomodate over 20 million people then the helter-skelter forest of skyscapers that we see in the model is no surprise- but that doesn't make it a desirable urban setting to be in.
