Had several hours to kill before sending a friend off at the airport. So, we went to Bar Rouge. I was definitely not alone when speaking of passing a red hot Shanghai afternoon on the roof of the bund. Surprisingly, I find that sceneries on the roof reflects the city’s history as well as the shanghai way of life that is always enjoyed by the generations of the past and those to come. 

From Peace hotel (Sasson building in the 30’s) to an adjascent roof top, tourists and locals drink and chat in the breeze.
