Shanghai Outskirts

On our way to a day trip outside the city. As the city expands, the construction moves from vertical office and residential buildings to the horizontal roads, overpasses, and factories. While the construction cranes in the city were plentiful, today we saw a string of what must have been easily a hundred loaded dump trucks going in one direction perpendicular to our road, and a similar number of empty ones going the other way.

The road to Suzhou is an interesting mix of old farms and newer factories, many of which include interesting English translations of their business names. One that stuck with me was a "Gluey Products Company."

Stuck with me. Get it?

I must be getting punchy.
