Here is
a small update about what I did while in Shanghai...
Shanghai
reminded me a lot of New York City! We took a tour bus and rode all around
Shanghai, a majority of Shanghai is strictly business buildings or malls.
Shanghai astonishes you a bit though when you find a surprisingly small spot
filled with a lot of history. Such as Buddhist temples that have been around
for ages, or the Yu Gardens.
Man were the Yu Gardens beautiful! There were lots of ponds
filled with Koi fish and turtles. I love turtles, so it was fun to see lots of
fully grown red eared sliders! The Yu
Gardens were built to house royalty in the past. We walked through there and
took lots of pictures of the statues and Asian styled buildings. We also
dressed up in fun, traditional Chinese clothes and took pictures. We thought we
were cool ninjas. ;) Be sure to look at my pictures, words can't describe how beautiful Shanghai was!
The hostel we stayed at served some American food, so as you
can imagine, we had the American breakfast every morning while there! It had
eggs, bread, bacon, and sausage. Of course it didn’t taste as good as it would
if you were in the states, but it was pretty close! I finally got a little bit
of bacon! It’s funny what you crave when you’re abroad. I crave things I’ve
never really loved before! We also had
the chance of eating at a subway in Shanghai, it felt so good to order a foot long!
We were pretty spoiled while there, though I have to say I got sick after every
meal. I am no longer use to the preservatives or the amount of sugar in the
foods we eat in America. I couldn’t help but eat it though because I have
missed it so much! Well, I hope all of you have a great week this week! Miss
you and love you!
