George747: Do you work for NWA?

No, UAL. I did train some Russian Pilots in 1994 in Denver. I still keep in touch with one who flies for Aeroflot.

9 Snowing in SJTU (with Kijiji Logo)

When I left PVG it had just started to snow. Nothing was accumulating so we didn't need to get deiced. It sure is strange having snow there. Also, from your photos I now know exactly where your office is. I walk by it all the time. George

8 Weird Places in Shanghai via Google Earth

Jian,
These are great! More fun than sudoku.

#1. At first glance picture one seems to be a runway layout but upon measuring the longest "runway" it is only about 2000 ft. Too short except for light aircraft. Also, runways are typically oriented north-south in the shangHai area. Zooming in, one can see cross members which look like all the metro construction going on in PVG. This is a metro station at the intersection of three lines.

#2 I agree with Keith. PVG South RR Station

#3 This is Shanghai Harbour City(Lingang City) or Luchao Harbour City 15 NM south of PVG airport. We fly over it on final approach when landing to the north. I have looked for it before on Google Earth but it was never there. It must be newly updated. It looks strange during low visibility approaches at night. All you see is a ring of lights glowing throught the darkness.

#4 Century Park

#5 Hmmm? Oil storage?

#6 Hmmm? Road around something?

#7 Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility

#8 Science & Technology Museum & Subway Market

#9 World Expo site

6 The Name of Chinese People

Great comments. I've always wanted to check our family tree and did a little research a long time ago, mostly because I am a true "Curious George". Nothing exciting turned up. However, since having children I haven't done much. Both our boys are adopted, which they know, and we were initially concerned that it might raise some issues for them when they were younger and never really took it any further. Both boys are from different birth moms and we decided that if they were interested their biological parents history we'd research that. It actually would be quite fun. So far neither has shown an interest so we haven't persued it.

5 Shanghai Public Transportation Card

I use the card all the time. Wonderful! The blog says the following about the metro card: "It can also be used by limited operators in other cities" and says to see the table. The table is in Chinese. Where can it be used?
