Once an abattoir (slaughterhouse), this gem of a building restored from the communist Era of Shanghai is a must see if you are in Shanghai.</p> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 02:38:08 -0800 2011-03-11T11:16:03-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (~mimo~) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/5516655025 31.238049 121.501922 31.238049 121.501922 2151849 passing through life, one must strive to leave a trace <p>365#48 (<a href="http://mimokhair365.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Blog</a>)<br /> &quot;There are only two ways to live your life.
