FOOD!

Just to update, we did end up with internet at the hotel, so we were feeling more care ness.
One of my favorite things about being in China is trying all sorts of different foods. I’ve had many standards, like jiaozi (dumplings). We have had baozi (some type of vegetable wrapped in breading) and other bread-like items for breakfast a couple of times. We mostly get these in small shops where they are steaming them right outside. It is super cheap, less than a dollar for 2 baozi. But we mainly eat in sit-down restaurants. We had some food that comes from Western China, where people speak a language that is closer to Middle Eastern and look more Middle Eastern as well. I think I’ve drank more tea this week than ever before in my life. I will admit that I still drink a fair amount of Diet Coke and we did have Pizza Hut pizza one night.

I also had a chance to go to Nanjing Road here in Shanghai. It’s the Times-Square-type area with tons of tourists and lights everywhere. There are mostly clothes and jewelry shops. I’ve apparently taken the standard photo here.
