From the people who sweep the streets clean, to the cops who keep them safe, from those who toil in the sun, to those who snooze in the shade, one can get a feel of what makes a great city tick. This is a city that never sleeps, ever on the move, and at hyperspeed. Yet within this pulsating urban sprawl, exists a parallel universe going at an unhurried clip. Intriguing, engaging, enchanting. Experience this charming world on the streets of Shanghai. Micro-taxi, small but gets you there, rain or shine Petrol powered or pedal powered, two-wheeling is freedom A chance to light up while waiting for the green Delivering drinking water, safely parked away from heavy traffic Trusty transport, on business or on errand A traffic cop looking more benign than ticket happy
