Exploring China

From the apartment complex (including parks of exercise equipment, multiple jungle gyms, and towers of apartment buildings) to the Bund, we've been exploring Shanghai.  We've had delicious dim sum, Nino's Pizza, and even spent yesterday at the French Concession to enjoy pumpkin soup!

We've visited a sea of Chinese people in the subway station and walking along Nanjing Road.  We visited Zhujiajiao, a water town where we took a gondola ride down its streets.  All along the walk way, you could smell stinky tofu and find them making fresh Chinese tamales.

We left the family to their 3 hours of Chinese tutoring while we successfully crossed the streets on our own and explored the mall to find a place for dinner.  We ended up at Wagas and enjoyed Thai duck curry with pineapple and rice.  It was spicy enough to enjoy my mango, apple, banana juice that much more!

Today. we're off to the Yu Gardens and to explore the old city.
