Yuyuan, Lotus Garden, Acrobats, and Game Night

We have actually done a few fun things! Last weekend we walked around Yuyuan which has a bunch of shops and a garden. Since it was night we skipped the garden but we walked around the shops and took some pictures with Haibao. He is the character created for The World Expo and he is everywhere here!





I am so grateful there are actually a few ladies here that I have become friends with and we have done several lunch dates. On Thursday a couple of us had lunch and attempted to see the Shanghai Contemporary Art Museum but it's closed for a few weeks. Whoops. But it was in a nice area with a lotus garden so we took a few pictures.



On Friday we went to see the Shanghai Acrobats with Jeremy and Mallory and it was pretty sweet! It was a little like Cirque but shorter and the acrobatics were more impressive. Fun!


Saturday night we hosted a little game night. I know, we love our games. We had a blast with everyone and I will be so sad when these people head back to the states.

i'm so glad you have been able to do some fun things!

those last two pictures are funny....first the guys are holding hands and then one of them is grabbing a girl's rear end....it's funny.

Hi Chris and Kristen! Looks like we're moving to Taiwan! In a few weeks. I'm kind of freaked out, but looking forward to the adventure. Looks like you've been having some fun.
