I am in Shanghai! I left Monday morning and arrived Tuesday night. The flight was ok, I actually didn’t get much knitting done, sadly. A little, but not a lot.
To get to the hotel we got to ride the Maglev, a super fast train. 301 KM/hr = 187 miles/hr.
The hotel is nice, I am going to be here for 6 nights! Here is the view:
Joshua and I headed out to find some dinner after we arrived and got some decently good chinese food.
Our order tag hangs at the table so when the people delivering food drop plates off they know that they are giving us the right thing and if we are missing anything.
This tea was delicious and so sweet. It was chrysanthemum.
Stir fried greens of some sort
tofu and crab, it was a bit greasy
Calamari, delicious but a bit spicy.
Wednesday we visited a tradeshow and then went to People’s square.
There are so many people everywhere! It is kind of annoying, it is really had to get around everywhere because there are people, people, people.
We had a late lunch at the place with the sign of a dumpling with a straw in it.
Here they are, handmaking-fresh our dumplings.
A very nice pick-me-up. Check out that large, crab soup dumpling. It was amazing. AMAZING!
More of our dumplings, yum yum
Joshua demonstrating the dumpling technique
I did not eat this, but it was a neat looking street vendor with stuff-on-a-stick.
Well, today we are off on more business. Not quite sure what the day all has in plan for me. I hope it does not rain and that it does not get too hot.
