Shanghai continued

My time in Shanghai continues with lots of people and lots of good food. Work is going really well, and we actually have had a little bit of free time too. Here is a photo documentary of the last two days…

all the bikes
Bikes are lined up like this everywhere you go.

Expo 2010 buildings
This is Expo 2010, a World Expo being held here right now. It is huge!

Apparently the lines are ridiculous, and we just don’t have the time.

Stadium being built for nothing
We drove past this stadium being built, and apparently it is being built for nothing. They build them and then find something to put in it later. Crazy.

Delicious lunch with "Mango ice sand"; beverage
A delicious lunch we had at the fake market. The beverage was called “Mango Ice Sand” and it was delicious.

Fake Market
I spent a bit of money here, it was awesome, I got some good stuff!

Shanghai egg tarts
Shanghai egg tarts are much different then in Hong Kong, and I think I like them better here.

delicious soup no one knew the name of; thick, sweet, egg, dough ball things
Delicious soup that no one knew the name of. It was thick and sweet with egg and little dough balls in it.

Other stories, it rained like crazy yesterday, the streets were flooding within minutes. It thought that the car we were riding in was going to stall because of the lakes we were driving through. Seeing the people on their bikes was amazing going through water 2 feet deep.

Well, I think that is about it besides the stories of the Fake Market I shouldn’t tell. Though it is Saturday, we are off to visit another vendor. Horray!

Welcome to Shanghai
