Today we enjoyed a western style breakfast at the hotel complete with bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. It was a good start to a long day. We headed off to the Shanghai Museum and spent a couple hours there looking at amazing exhibits of calligraphy, painting and sculpture. The artifacts were really incredible but only some of the descriptions were in english. Ariel and Ryan helped me figure out the aperture and shutter speed on my camera finally with only 4 days left of the trip but I put it to good use in the Shanghai Beinali, a contemporary art gallery. Later I split off with Brooke and Sylvan to visit an art district. We walked for a bit and found some little shops that were fun including a bakery where we picked up some pastries. We took a cab back and I met up with Ariel and Ryan again to grab some dinner. We found a guy cooking with a wok out on the street. We took a gamble but it was a good one. The food was great and only 5 yuan which is less than a dollar. Right now I'm watching an Adam Sandler movie on HBO because it's in english and not news.
