Airport Security in Shanghai, China

Before deplaning in Shanghai, China, everyone onboard is subject to the army of Chinese airport security wielding temperature reading guns.

Even the pretty Asian Airlines flight attendant got the same treatment.

Huge advertisement for Buick near ticketing at Pudong International Airport in Shanghai, China. Buick is actually a popular brand with status in China, as some of you may know. Hard for Americans to imagine. In fact, I even saw several cheap Chinese cars with counterfeit Buick hood ornaments stuck on them.

Typical taxi in Shanghai, China. All taxis have the protective plexiglass shield around the driver. Makes sense after personally seeing lots of aggressive behavior in China. Additionally, just about every taxi is a 10-20 year old Volkswagen. Every other car on the road besides taxis are also Volkswagens for some reason.  Taxi fares were reasonable about 60% of the time. The other 40%, the drivers either attempted or successfully ripped us off. Watch out.
