Hello from Shanghai!

Hello! Nothing big to report on this end. We arrived to our hotel in Shanghai last night. I've never been so happy to see a hotel bathroom. Needless to say, the accomodations in Tibet were very minimal. I'll leave it at that. The hotel here feels like heaven.

Today, our group was supposed to go to a business meeting over 2 hours away. We ended up canceling, and we were very happy to do that! I went to the Pearl Market and bought some jewelry. Then I went to McDonalds. First time here, not bad! I learned that in China, KFC and McDs are the same thing and the Chinese do not see a difference. After that, Jen and I walked around for about an hour and a half. In the rain. We saw a few sights in Shanghai. There aren't as many historical sights in Shanghai as there were in Beijing. So I haven't posted any pictures, I only took a couple so far. Now I'm going to kick back at the hotel and then we have a group dinner. Post again tomorrow!
