Our final leg of the trip was in the very-modern city of Shanghai!
Here we go!
We rode a high speed choo-choo (as Charlie would say) from the airport:
"Weeee"
Charlie's two favorite things
We went next to the World Financial Center, the second tallest building in the world:
World's second tallest building
Cool views
The next tallest building is being built next door
A visit to the Jade Budda Temple. We couldn't take pictures of the Jade Budda but it was pretty cool:
The Jade Budda Temple
There were some fish there
Then to learn about silk:
How silk is made
James trying his hand stretching the silk
So a few people drive motorcycles here
Yu Garden:
Outside the Yu Garden
Fish petting with Simon
Inside the Yu Garden (we are starting to look tired)
We had some more school visits the next day:
Visiting a teaching college
Visiting an elementary school
Cutie-pies
English class. "Excuse me, how do I get to Starbucks?"
That night we took a boat ride to see the city sky-line. It was amazing (the pictures don't capture it):
The Bund
Pretty shot of the moon
On our last day, it finally rained. Boy were we lucky the prior 11 days! This is what the same skyline looked like in the nasty weather (it is fog, not pollution) as we explored the Bund:
Coffee and dessert at New Heights
Our last picture. Posing like many of the Chinese tourists we saw :)
