Day…I forget.
(ignore the grammar, I’m doing this on an iPad)
The days are starting to blur together now. Yesterday we took the bullet train to shanghai, arriving in just under 5 hours. The train food was questionable, but I did get quite a bit of work done on my paper (I do not want to be working on it while in Thailand). The hotel is very nice with the most comfortable bed ever. Last night we hit the streets, stumbling across a traditional dumplings shop, where we filled up half the seats. Delicious food for sure. A thanks to johnathan who helped us find our way to the rest room 2 blocks away. We headed back and the group split into two when we came to a fork in the road. Fortunately, the 4 of us took the short path and had enough time to stop by 7-11, get cold stone ice cream, and relax by the time the rest go there.
Today was a cultural day, where we started off at the Yu Garden. What stood out to me was how Many western restaurants and snack shops were located in this historical area. We got our pictures taken a few times, one where the lady jumped in the shot. Next was the jade budha temple. The smell of indents were strong, and there were some impressive statues. The jade budha was also impressive it’s too bad we couldn’t take a photo of it. All in all a good day.
The humidity isn’t as bad as I thought it would be today. Also, my nickname on this trip is now cheese, thanks to our awesome coordinator Lee (she really does rock). Now we’re back in the hotel and will probably hit the gym then head out for the night. I just can’t forget to do my company update before we leaveomorrow morning.
