China trip Day #3 Shanghai

This day was amazing, busy and hard. Brody started his day by going to a business meeting with a semiconductor manufacturing corporation. They make most of the chips and things for a lot of the world. Then at noon we met up for lunch which was not the greatest. I only ate steamed rice. It was a restaurant right on the bund river, and probably good food to most Chinese. I was just done with the smells of China food.
I started out my day by going with the spouse group to Zhujiajiao watertown. It was a Chinese Venice. Just beautiful.




Oh the yummy smells of China... steaming hot, marinated pork leg. Oh what about a bowl of marinate frog? I couldn't put that picture on the blog. I don't want to even look at that picture. The smells made me nautious in these small alleys.

Our amazing tour guide, Vicki. We were so luck to go to Shanghai during the 2010 World Expo!! We had the afternoon to spend there. Every country had a building they designed filled with interesting things about the country. Brody and I took a golf cart through the streets to see all the buildings. Some of our friends went to the Italy building and had an amazing lunch there. So sad we weren't with them. We did find a burger king and were in heaven to eat some fries.

This blue guy was everywhere in Shanghai. The mascot of the world expo (which was treated as special as the olympics).

We then went to the fabric market to pick up some clothes we had made and then we finished the evening with a fantastic acrobat show. The acrobats there start training at age 8. We got in trouble for taking pictures, but managed to get a few at the beginning.
