Lunch at New Heights

Here we are eating a light lunch at New Heights restaurant down by The Bund. Bund means muddy embankment in Hindi (as in India) language. Most people think it's a German word but it's not. 100 years ago the riverfront was a muddy embankment, hence Bund. Now the muddy embankment is a nice large concrete pedestrian walkway which is usually packed with what seems like a million people on a nice weekend day. Great view of the skyline in Pudong, that's the name of the area across the river, although it is still part of Shanghai. The strange looking building with the 2 spheres is called the Pearl Tower and was built in 1995.
