It is Sunday morning about ....oops....I guess it is Sunday afternoon about 20 minutes after 12. How time flys!! We just came back from a walk to the Oriental Pearl area. Our walk was for exercise but we happened to stop for breakfast while we were out so that might have cancelled out the exercise part. The outdoor temperature is nice today but the sky is very cloudy or smoggy...I am not sure which. Some days it is hard to tell the difference. We are all doing homework (well I should be doing homework) and then we are going to scooter over to the Yu Garden.

Yesterday we went on a shopping adventure. Best Buy opened in Shanghai in December so we thought we would check it out. Tim is looking for a new camera and wanted to see what was available here and do a little price comparing. These are pictures of the shopping area. It is a very busy area so they have walkways that cross above the road.

You can get to the walkways by a series of escalators. As you can see by the picture it was a slow shopping day.......Ha Ha!










The road is very wide. I think it has four lanes going each direction.












This is a picture of one of the walk ways above the road.












This is a sidewalk that leads to one of the escalators. Notice the sea of people?? We were talking about the craziness of the traffic and the crowd....I said "At least we didn't have to park the car!". Zhang dropped us at the curb. This lead us into a conversation about all the things we were not doing on Saturday.....not doing yard work, not doing laundry, not grocery shopping, not cooking. Somehow the crowd thing was not such a big deal anymore!!
