A Bit of a Recap, Shanghai Day 1.

I haven't had much time to blog since arriving, as I keep getting tired, darn jetlag, when I'm in the room. I've spent a lot of the time editing the photos and getting them up on picasa, go there if you'd like, but for now, I'll do a quick recap until I have some more time to write/post photos.

After we showered and got ready Lauren had a bit of a nap before we headed out for dinner, so I went for a walk with her parents, down the main street in the Jiang Na district, which is the main business center in Shanghai and where our hotel is located. We had a nice walk, grabbed a small snack before dinner, a small pizza, a little salty a little sweet, with lots of toppings. Delish!

Our first dinner was Italian/Mediterranean food... even though Lauren and I had only arrived, everyone else had been in China for over a week, and were sick of Chinese cuisine! So we went to a place that someone had recommended. The food was good, we shared a bunch of appetizers and I had lamb with a great fresh mint crust over cous cous. After dinner we headed back to the hotel, everyone was falling asleep, and stopped at the grocery store to buy a few snacks. I chose brown sugar mochi & another random fruit that I didn't know. I still haven't had a chance to try it, so I don't even know how it looks on the inside, but I will post a photo to link you to the rest of the Day 1 album, Anybody know it?
