Day Three - Tour of Shanghai

Today we were taken on a guided tour of Shanghai. Our agenda included the Bund river, numerous shopping-oriented stops (districts specializing in fabrics, tailoring, jewelry) and glimpses of some sites to re-visit with more time including Yu Yuan Garden, Shanghai Art Museum, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall...

One of the cool sightings of the day was the lineup for dumplings at lunch today at a local favourite:


Tomorrow morning we have our health checks which according to our tour guide makes you feel somewhat like cattle being herded from one room to the next. Woo hoo, can't wait!

I don't think turtles count as meat, so Chana you can go ahead and chow down on turtles! Or better yet, turtle dumplings!

How come you deleted Ami's comment. At least I assume it was his because we all know if someone is going to type something worth deleting, it's my brother!
