A couple weekends ago we went to The Bund. FYI: Shanghai is split in two parts by the Yellow River and The Bund is the street that faces the river on our side of town. It's a fun place to walk around for the cool colonial architecture and fabulous view across the river (Pudong).

The Bund
Did you know there are A LOT of people in China? Yeah, well there are and it is really fun when you get to walk in a river of Chinese people (see below). The roads to get back to the subway were packed with people and, to make it even more exciting, there were buses and cars trying to drive on the same road. It's also really hot and humid, yummy.
Here is a picture of me just in case you miss my face.
I've adopted the Chinese ways and like to throw up a peace sign for pictures.
And here is a picture of Chris just because he is cute.
PS - Can everyone see my blog header ok?

I can see your blog header! I'm glad you guys are loving your stay!!! Do you get to see Chris any more than you did when you were in LA? When do you get back? ...so many questions! Did Jess tell you we live next door to each other? Well we are! Crazy huh? I can't wait for her little baby to come!!!!
your blog header = super cute
me = jealous of your china adventure
Love your blog header. And yes, I agree, Chris is cute. So are you! Can't wait to see you all!
ps--technically, the huangpu translates as the yellow bank river (or river with the yellow bank) not to be confused with the other yellow river in china...basically, all the rivers in china are yellow looking because they're all so full of silt(and other unmentionnables)
I am very excited to walk The Bund! And after seeing the picture of those crowds of people, I am especially excited to do it with no kids!!
