...non periodic oscillations...

Walls make for great canvases. This beautiful artwork, made of broken ceramic, stands at the exit of the metro station, bringing joy to the commuters.  Location:  https://goo.gl/maps/NqNvXdWEAmcsHvLU9 #shanghai #newadventures #explorechina #nonperiodicoscillations #walls #dailyart #joy #metro #station #commute #museum #naturalhistory

Walking can be a boon, sometimes. Especially, when you see beautiful beasts like this drool worthy Zero Engineering ( http://www.zero-eng.com/ ) motorcycle! This beauty was parked in the entrance lobby of a nondescript coffee shop on Huaihai Middle Road and must have been so lonely. I wish I could hear her roar or better still, take her for a ride. I need to make better friends, real quick. Update: Zero Engineering is shutting down the business, as per this post on their Instagram page on 26 June 2019 :( #shanghai #newadventures #explorechina #nonperiodicoscillations #motorcycles #zeroengineering #ride #livetoride #custom #custommotorcycle #chopper 

Defunct industrial structures make for an amazing canvas on which unique projects may be developed and Shanghai seems to be in love with this model of development. I was walking down Wending Lu and came across Wending Living Style Plaza (www.wendingplaza.com.cn). Known formerly as the Shanghai Cold Rolling Steel Plant, the skeletal structure has been retained and sensitively retrofitted to function as a high end retail destination. The space is light, inviting and filled with natural light. There are a number of cafes with outdoor seating which makes one want to just while away time, hopefully, without a care in the world. The question that needs to be asked though is can this model be more inclusive and cater to a wider audience or will the dynamics of real estate compel all such developments to be targeted only towards the rich, adding to the ever widening social divide? #shanghai #newadventures #explorechina #nonperiodi
