Shanghai

Hey everyone! After we left Beijing by train we went to Shanghai. We didn't have any required appointments there, so we could do whatever we wanted. It was nice, and much more relaxing. But we were only staying there for three days and since we were leaving on the third day we only had two days to see one of the biggest cities in the world. The first thing we did was go to the Shanghai Museum. Supposedly it was going to be the best museum that we had ever seen. They had a few really cool exhibitions, like the exhibition on Cathrine the Great, an important figure head in Russian history. They also had an exhibition on the history of pottery in China, and they had different examples from different eras.

As you can see, some styles were really different and interesting.
We went to the street near our hotel that was the big shopping disctric. We went at night, and I bought a sweatshirt!

We didn't do that much shopping, but it was fun to see the different shops and stuff. Lesly, one of my roommates, and I went to Starbucks! It was fun, but they didn't have as many drinks as they do in America, and it was really expensive (American prices).

We walked around the street, and then at the end of the shopping street is the Shanghai harbour.

After that, we just went home since we were tired from all that traveling.
The next day we tried to go to the History of Science and Technology, but we couldn't get in so we just went home to relax a little.
