I'm sorry it's been awhile since my last post but I have been so busy. We just got a break from teaching because it is China's national Holiday. So it was the perfect opportunity to get out of Wuhan for a bit and see a little more of the Country. So we decided to travel to Shanghai. I had such a great time... it was the biggest city I have ever seen. There are more skyscrapers and buildings than any city in America. It was an amazing sight to see.
Stew and I went to the Women's World Cup Finals. We went to a few museums. We relaxed. We read. We went to Starbucks...Everyday. We ate some great food. We met some cool people. We saw some amazing things. We had a great time. Here are some pictures from our trip.
The beginning of our trip. A wonderful view.
Tea time! We Went to this teahouse. It was so good.
This place was near the teahouse. Yu Gardens. This place was beautiful.
Even though these buildings look new...they are actually ancient...They fooled me at first. They are preserved very well.
These lions are everywhere. They are usually in front of buildings. They symbolize wealth and good fortune. The bigger the lion the more prosperity they have.
Women's World Cup.
This was the final match to see who would get third place.
USA:4, Norway:1
Final Game.
Brazil vs. Germany.
These German Fans were Crazy!!! So funny! They were Yelling the entire night.
Brazil: 0, Germany: 2
Brazil put up a great fight. It was such a good game.
The winners. The best fire-works I have ever seen. They were going off all around us!
So Stew and I went to get some dinner after the game. Then we were walking back to the subway and we saw a small crowd and some media people. We decided to check it out and it was Germany who had just finished their press conference. They were singing and dancing with the World Cup in hand about ten feet away from us. Then the goalie (who was the MVP for the game) threw out here gloves and I caught one! It was a great night.
Since it was a "National Holiday" the entire country takes this day off. It was crowded many of the places we went. There probably a few hundred thousand people at this shopping mall!
Baby Chicks, Ducks, Bunnies, and Squirrels for Sale. Stasi almost bought the Squirrel. I convinced her not to, only because it was gnawing rabidly at it's cage.
These faucets are so crazy. They have no sink! The counter is slanted back, and it just flows back there!
From the top of one of the tallest buildings in the World! Great view.
Only 10,550 KM from Los Angeles. I was a little closer to you all this week.
