shanghai: the suburbs and thames town

on the outskirts of the main city older agricultural lands turn into relentless landscapes of prettiness european style. couples pose in front of the fake church, regent street is abandoned to statues of poets and british polititians. harry potter flies towards the horizon. turn the corner and paris is waiting. 'dreaming of britain, live in thames town' says a poster. all the buildings relentlessly run east west on a grid- a landscape of excruciating sweetness concealing a dark dark heart.
