Amazing view from Shanghai WFC - World Financial Center 上海环球金融中心 - in Pudong.According to the Shanghaiist:

Shanghai is considered among the world’s most vulnerable urban areas to a rise in sea levels, all thanks to melting polar ice caps, the prevalent use of land subsistence in China’s coastal cities and heavy construction of skyscrapers.

Shanghai is the new Venice!

Getting the roosters ready to fight.
Every week, in most villages of Xishuangbanna and Northern Vietnam, male villagers gather to an improvised “Rooster-Dome” with their best roosters.
Then a complex and lengthy process of choosing who will fight who take place. Once the choice is made, the crowd start betting (a lot of money changes hands), the roosters are washed and prepared for the fight. Unlike rooster fights in Peru, no rooster dies in Xishuangbanna and the loser is the one that flies over the wood-fence.
