For a short time I am going to open my Picasa photo album for public viewing. A LOT of these pictures were shot in the back of a cab so you get to see my perspective of an hour long ride across town and back. Today was spent in and around the Corporate office in
Xintiandi district. Click on the link to read about it. Every culture class and movie about China makes reference to this area of Shanghai.
Dim Sum lunch was at the The Langham hotel and I will admit I passed on one item. It looked like raw squid and was deep black and shiny. Susan later told me she does not think America has this sea creature that is harvested and dried until re-hydrated in the cooking process. She said it is like a sponge and tastes like one, glad I passed.

Gregg, thank you, thank you, thank you. I didn't want to bother you, but your mother said it would be O.K. I look forward to this every day. Please don't stop. Not only are you teaching me about places that I will never see, but it also lets us know that you are fine. (Maybe exhausted, but fine.) Dumb question: Do they still use rickshaws? Bonny
