Shanghai Part 2

We did a lot, so this first day is broken into pieces.

After the gardens we to lunch. The girls took us for the Shanghai special. Xiao long ba. They are small dumplings with various things inside.

 This is the large one. It was crab, I think. You drink the juices out then eat the dumpling. There was way too much fishy flavored juice in this one. And almost no meat. Didn't love it.

 Dumpling and broth. This one was pretty good. The broth was pretty bland though.

 Egg "rolls" - triangles. They were yummy, but super oily.

 This was the part I loved. These are xiao long ba. We got three different kinds.

Then we went to People's square and wandered around parts of downtown.

 Huan, Ashley, Claire.

 They told us to strike a pose. So there you go.

 The coins was one of our favorite parts of the museum of Shanghai.

Because of the year of the dragon. This was in part of the museum with the various ethnic groups in China. There are over 40. I can't remember exactly. It was cool to see.

The next day we were on our own. Check back tomorrow.
