Shanghai – A short trip and still on the bucket list!

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain

Digging a little through a pile of images from my brief trip to Shanghai a couple of years ago, I realize that I have a few more to share from that trip. Like this one! Sure it was a lazy capture, but from a cool location…..my room actually. To be totally honest with ya, it might have indeed been from the bed! LOL… What a view though 🙂

It was one of those places that has a “This hotel is so hip that I need to look the part and not be too much of a geek” kinda vibe. Hmmmm, wonder if I blended in….

In case you didn’t see them, here are a couple of links to some previous posts from here…

Of course, having only spent about 4 days there, I guess it’s still on the bucket list!

So on to something different……..

The other day, I had posted this video here. It started out when I started to review a few of the timelapse clips I had created with my iphone off of the balcony. (not here in Shanghai…but that would be cool, wouldn’t it?) My plan was just to edit them together to a song I had in my head ….. just to play a bit creatively. I had no plan to share it with the world, but I think it came out pretty cool. Sharing copyrighted music of course is kind of a “your not supposed to do that” sort of thing though. I do give credit and am not really trying to sell anything with it. In addition to that, youtube always detects the music and puts a link in the post for you to buy the song anyway. I started thinking after that….”I wonder if anyone else had created their own art piece to this song?” Turns out there are quite a few. Check them out. The first in my clip (the music kicks in about halfway thru) and the others are pretty creative I think. Looks like alot of people are playing in the sandbox! In the future, I am working towards using a few royalty-free clips I have been gathering. More on that in another post! Till then, enjoy…..
