Day Fourty

After I blogged last night Jeff and I geared up for a night on the town. We went to an awesome Beijing Duck dinner where Jeff got his first "real" taste of Chinese cuisine. After our dinner we took a taxi to the Cloud 9 bar, located on the 87th floor of the Jinmao Tower. The bar was extremely nice and we may go back at some point to bask in the view once more.

Since it was pouring all morning we ended up sleeping in until about noon. Although the rain never stopped for the rest of the day we managed to get over to the Shanghai Museum. The museum was at the southern edge of the Renmin Park, only a mile walk from our hotel but by the time we got there our clothes and shoes were soaking wet.

The Shanghai Museum is a collection of historical Chinese artifacts. The main exhibits were made up of an Ancient Chinese Bronze Gallery, Ancient Chinese Sculpture Gallery, Ceramics Gallery, Calligraphy Gallery, Painting Gallery, and Jade Gallery. Each gallery had artifacts dating as far back as the 21st century B.C.

Right now we're relaxing at the hotel and planning out our itinerary for the remainder of the trip. Hope everything is good back home!
