These photos were taken when we were exploring on our first day in Shanghai. We went to Yuan Gardens, an ancient walled oasis right in the middle of a super-busy shopping district and was an amazing introduction to some of the special Chinese places we went on to discover during the week.
The three pairs of feet consisted of me and my two lovely, lovely American college friends Casey and Karen. They demanded to appear in this blog and their wish is my command! What a fantastic and funny week.
As well as the lovely, old-fashioned side of Shanghai, we also tried to get a flavour of the more normal, modern side of the city. Definitely less glamorous but just as interesting.
And I am totally in love with the look of Chinese text - doesn't matter what it's saying, as these drink cartons demonstrate:
Love these photos!
