Old Shanghai

In the center of Old Shanghai was a pond with a zig-zag bridge. I have heard that your negative energy gets caught in the corners of bridges like this, hence the design.

I wish Stan had been with me to see all this, but in a way, I know he was...And while I wasn't sure what these lovely bamboo things were, I like to think they were prayers, which seemed quite fitting.
And we hadn't even made it to Yu Garden yet!
