The main purpose of the trip to China was in response to an invitation from Shanghai University for Kathy to
teach there in the Civil Engineering Department for two weeks. Here we are shown with Dr. Younghe Li, Civil
Engineering Department Head and members of the faculty, and shots of Kathy teaching class (I was also
invited to make a presentation to the students and faculty about modern American Federal Architecture).
Below are some street scenes taken while just walking around Shanghai, the most populated city in the most populated
country on earth. I noticed a lot of interesting contrasts, you can see a lot of very new things right beside a lot of
very old things.
Below left we are shown with Dr. Li inside an ancient pogoda in the West Lake area about 175 miles out from
Shanghai, and on the right with Dr. Li's son, a student at Peking University, who helped show us around Beijing.

The photos above show us climbing and walking along the Great Wall, and that was a wonderful experience. Below
are some shots from within the Forbidden City, where the movie "The Last Emperor" was filmed.
Below left we are shown with Dr. Li and his wife, and on the right with members of his staff, at just a couple of the
many great dinners to which we were treated. Dr. Li was a wonderful host, spending a lot of time with us, feeding us
and driving us to many different and interesting places around Shanghai. The food was good, however, there were times that
we really did not know what we were eating and were afraid to ask.
