The Peace Hotel [Shanghai]

Here's the hotel where Tom & Aaron did not hear jazz last night

— it's under renovation as part of the general overhaul for Shanghai's 2010 World Expo. The blue mascot is everywhere,

and all road roads are torn up because they're putting in an underground transportation system;

not sure which is more annoying.

The Peace Hotel is on the Bund, the old International Quarter & financial district from colonial days.

Because of the construction, we were only able to see it from the bus. Unfortunately, we spent too much time in post-lunch silk shopping and so were unable to see the Shanghai Art Museum except from the bus too.
