So, what does a guy do on a Saturday in Shanghai....well he goes to see some dancers, and these are not just ordinary dancers, these were dancer's like I have never seen dancers before. Now there is lots of opportunities for entertainment, but you will have to admit by looking at this photo, that this scene was extremely unique and interesting. This is not the greatest picture but pictures are never real great when taken in a dark theater!!! The scene is a traditional Chinese dance scene. Except that these dancers were at the Shanghai Museum of Science and Technology. Do you remember when I wrote, in the case of the sidewalk design for the blind and some other things, that the Chinese people do everything, I believe, with a purpose and a plan? At this museum, there are halls devoted to the environment, the human body, genetics, space and space travel and robotics. These dancers are all robots performing a traditional Chinese dance to Chinese music and it was pretty neat to see. Not only were there these dancers, there were robots that played games like gobong with adults and children and you could even test your skill at shooting a bow and arrow against a robot. All this, I feel with a plan to get children excited about technology and manufacturing as well as the long term science associated with the environment, genetics and space travel. It is a very definite long term view........and a pretty good one at that!!!
Best to All
