Back to my roots: buildings and food! Shanghai and the 'deskers

Shanghai day today. Photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/86747592@N00/sets/72157622664142415/

I went to the office just in time for lunch, but on the way ended up taking dozens of pictures of some of the great buildings here in the Pudong area. Lots of cool architecture around here, for sure! Then I went to lunch with Itamar's team (Maggie, Na, Steve, and Sudip) plus Bruce, a new addition to our engineering management team. It was great to meet those who I hadn't met before, and see folks I haven't seen in a while. We even got a photo back at the office! http://www.flickr.com/photos/86747592@N00/4098314504/

In the afternoon I met with folks, hung out at the starbucks a bit, and then got to visit with Qiong and catch up with her over dinner. It's so nice to see a good friend and catch up in person after more than a year. And eating great food makes it all the better! http://www.flickr.com/photos/86747592@N00/4098335050/

And I got shots of both lunch and dinner. Weirdest thing I ate today was chicken feet followed far behind by watermelon juice. Tastiest thing I ate today was probably the egg and clam dish at dinner, or maybe the dessert sweet rice something-or-other. Yum!

And architecture shots, I got a lot. Here's a few:
