So today we found out the hard way that it is NOT always sunny in Shanghai. We had a whole free day to enjoy the city so after breakfast at the hotel we ventured out to find some shops. Ariel got some directions to a store that was supposed to be good but it turned out to be a pretty average department store. The good thing was that it gave us a chance to walk from a different part of the city. We hoofed it up Huanghai road to get back to some stores we had visited a few days ago. We then headed up to Nanjing Road on a recommendation from Ying and Edwin. It was a really busy street and there were a lot of great stores and restaurants. We followed a lady into a shady little store selling fake ipods and watches and then we saw a taxi rear-end another taxi. It was all going so well until the sky went black, the lightning started and the downpour came. We ducked into a few stores and then finally took a cab back to the hotel. The rest of the night was pretty slow but it was a good chance to relax and catch up on our projects.
