I guess I should add some more of this trip, first, here is a video of some crazy Russians (I believe) climbing the new building in shanghai to the top of the crane, great views.

So, on Wednesday March 26th we headed out in the morning to Zhujiajiao. I thought this water town was one of the more interesting places we went in Shanghai and would be worth a visit if heading to Shanghai. It is really set up for tourist, you can take boat rides and walk around with lots of little shops selling things from chopsticks to silk comforters. Lot of places selling pigs feet, snout, other big pieces of meat (maybe pig?). I had some type of rice with meat wrapped in a leaf, the rice was VERY bland. It was not overly crowded while we were there, we walked around the town and also went to the Kezhi Garden.

After Zhujiajiao on the way back to the house we stopped off for grocery shopping. Our host pointed out issues with shopping. We happen to be standing around the hair care products and he pointed to the head & shoulders and asked us to pick out the shampoo. He mentioned this because the brand name of products you are familiar with but what the product is was in Chinese so picking out shampoo and not conditioner was a guessing game. After shopping we headed to the house for a few hours to do laundry, pack, eat dinner and have a birthday party for our hosts son.
After that we headed to the peoples square to walk down East Nanjing Road to the Bund. I was able to get some night shots of the skyline of the Pudong district (skyscrappers) from the Bund side of the river and a few for a panarama shot (5 images stiched together with Microsoft ICE-good free stiching progam) to print out and hang with my 17"x62" panarama of Hong Kong. This one will not be as long though, I think my Hong Kong pano was 11 images.
