Spent a couple of weeks in Shanghai

These were taken at the Bund, a waterfront area that houses 
many historical buildings














There's always some fun in translations!






Care meet height limit, I felt that I needed to duck in this tunnel!


Which way?!?!?!






This area is the Xintiandi (新天地) district, it's a nice little area with shops and restaurants, 
very popular with the Western tourists.









Some silly things around town





This fat cupid is in front of our hotel



Went for a walk on a sunny day and got some great pictures!


City planning building

Tomorrow Square




Nanjing Road is a (mostly) pedestrian only area, shopping and restaurants







Popular green dumplings are distinctively bright spring green glutinous rice 
dumplings filled with sweet red bean paste. Their color comes from wild mugwort juice. 
We did try them, not our favorite thing.













This train sounds exactly like the one we use at Mom & Dad's house while 
playing Mexican Train dominoes!




Near and around the People's Square









Opera house with Tomorrow Square tower in the background
