In the middle of last month,a peculiar thing happened-Shanghai,a city normally made of concrete,asphalt and steel,was abruptly made of water.Rainfall in some areas passed 200 millimeters(7.8 inches),turning some particularly unlucky roads into veritable canals.The rains wrought havoc on infrastructure-roads,sidewalks and parks combined to form lakes,and public busses heaved through flooded streets like arks(albeit with pairs of animals replaced by groups of Shanghainese ayis).
