Shanghai

Wow, what a day we had yesterday! We went to the Shanghai Museum (focusing on jade, landscape paintings and the ancient bronzes), the neighborhood of the Yu gardens (which is basically like a Middle Eastern souk with Asian roofs), the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Pudong, shopping on Nanjing Road and dinner in an old restaurant that my father remembers from when he was a kid.

Some other things to expand on later: the super high flyover highways, the pushy people, the search for a stroller (after fricking Air Canada broke ours on the way here). Okay, got to get the kids out of the house.
