Subways in Guangzhou

The fastest, most efficient, and safest form of transportation in Guangzhou requires you to go underground. Yes, the subways can be overcrowded during rush hour... and you have to be careful about "pick pockets". However, they are a much better alternative than dealing with the madness above you (cars, buses, taxis, traffic jams, collisions, pollution, etc). The subways in Guangzhou are an extension of the MTR system in Hong Kong. They are clean, efficient, and temperature controlled... wish Boston had subways like this when I lived there.

The No Fun Zone

Driving along the coastal route in Maine, there are many beautiful little beaches tucked away. However, most of them are covered with "NO TRESPASSING" signs. There are no surf at any of the beaches (that I know of)... so I don't really care to go to them. However, I've never agreed with the concept of owning a beach. I think they should be open to the public (although, I guess if I owned property next to a world class surf spot, I wouldn't mind making it private for myself).

SHELL

I'm definitely not a fan of big oil companies... nor do I like Shell. However, this is still a pretty rad structure. It's situated right along Memorial Drive in Cambridge... and has been there for ages. It looks like something that was constructed during the 60s. I think it's pretty cool.
