GREG WENZEL, Photography major, writes: This is our last day in Shanghai and I am sad to see it go. I am going to miss the anything-goes atmosphere, the merciless negotiating at the markets, the food, the highly upscale places I can just stomp into because I am a westerner. The exchange rate I will also miss.
Shanghai was pretty much as I expected, but it solidified and expelled many notions and stereotypes. This country is in a transition from a third-world communist country to the next world superpower. The art, commerce, culture, and ideas reflect that largely. Things are happening here.
