walking, walking and more walking

28th
This morning we went into the centre of shanghai so dad could see what it was like. We walked for miles. First of all we went along nanjing road, which is the main shopping road, and we walked towards the bund which is on the riverside. It was soooooooooo hot today tho so we just say on the bund for a while.
We went to a few of the parks in shanghai (there are loads) and we ended up in a place called Xintiandi (which means new heaven and earth). They are old terrace houses that have been restored and really nice architecture, and one of the buildings was where the chinese communist party was founded!! And the most exciting this off all, one of the buildings is now pizza express!!!!!!!!
In the evening after a few chinese beers (my favourite drink) we got the metro back, and couldnt be bothered to walk to the uni so we got a taxi, and i told the taxi driver where I wanted to go but he blatantly didnt know where it was and drove off in the wrong direction, so i asked him where we were going and he didnt really give me an answer and he had to stop and ask another taxi driver where it was, and then i had to try and direct him back, and when we actually got to the uni it was loads more money than usual, but i succesfully managed to argue in chinese and we only paid 11yuan!!
