Today was a little bit more eventful then yesterday. I woke up a little early, nine o'clock, and got ready for my friend Jeff's arrival. Around 11:30am I went down to the hotel Lobby Bar to wait for Jeff. I ordered some tea and read my book for about half an hour before he arrived. When Jeff arrived we sat and talked for a little before gearing up to tour the city.
The first stop of the day was to the Yuan Yu area. Near Yuan Yu there are an abundance of shops and restaurants. We stopped at a Shanghainese restaurant for crab and shark's fin soup. After lunch we walked around the district a little before walking to the Bund.
We strolled along the Bund, a stretch of walkway lined with souvenir shops along the Huangpu River, and tried to figure out how to get across to the other side of the river. We were unsuccessful, and had to head back into the city to board the metro.
When we got onto the other side of the river we disembarked our train and headed for the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. The Pearl TV Tower is similar to the TV tower that we visited in Macau. The only difference being that the Shanghai TV tower is much taller than the Macau Tower and it also has a spherical section that has a space city exibition and rollercoaster.
We've been relaxing and the hotel since then and we're going to catch a late dinner soon. Night everyone!
