Another 48 hours in Shanghai and we are still as impressed as when we first got here. From the couch we are writing from we can see a building changing through rainbow colors spelling out positive slogans in English and Chinese, can see the Pearl Tower, the 90 story YinMao building, the 100 story World Financial Center (bottle opener building), another under construction to dwarf them both and an uncountable number of other sky-scrapers. We keep waiting for the weather to clear to go have a drink in the bar on the 93rd floor of World Financial Center which will hopefully happen in the next few days.
Since we last wrote we have had the pleasure of meeting Pat and Michelle's friend Erin who joined us for Thai food and drinks last night (we limited our day to food shopping where we were baby'd from the second we walked into the supermarket until we left) and who today served as our guide for a tour of the Yu Garden's, temple and some side alley's so we can see how the "other" China lives. Tomorow's agenda includes the Communist museum, a European square and, hopefully, a jog around the Bund to see Shanghai straddling their river.
