Vanishing street life in Shanghai
Steaming hot breakfast in the front yard before the cars come in. While life on main street moves at hyperspeed and is always uber class, Shanghai still has a place for an older lifestyle that harks back to the days when only the basics will do. In the side streets and byways small businesses thrive providing affordable sustenance and services for the ordinary man. Pavement barber taps power for electric shears from a renovation site. A chair and a mirror, with the day's clippings swept up against the wall. Catching a meal on the run.
