Em....how to comment the walk along the James River? Well, as someone said, it's more quiet here than the Bund. It's hard to compare. The Bund & the Huangpu River and the bank of the James River are two totally different style. But I still miss the Bund coz I used to walk alone it to get the bus to school everyday after work during my last internship.

Then the walk became a picture-taking competiton. Everyone loves to take pictures, girls as well as boys. I think that we can always be easily recognized as visitors coz we take pictures everywhere, as many as possible. I'm wondering whether foreignors do that too while they are visiting Shanghai. We just want to memorize and embrace as much of the country as we could.

I told Dad that I was eating Haagen-Dazs just now. He said he envied me. I guess you can find it in very dorm's refrigerator, even in dozens. Haagen-Dazs together with Levi's and Neutrogena are all incredibally cheap here. (Maybe I'll talk over this in my next blog.) So, it now seems to be our bedtime dessert. But sorry guys, I cannot bring them back as souvenirs or send them by UPS (though they boast they deliver everything...). Then just... envy me as you like~ :-p

Colorful stores lining up the road.

See how hot today at 4. I walked dozens of blocks to the post office to get you STAR WARS stamps!

The sky at 8 p.m..See how beautiful it is.

Cameras can be used as pens or keyboards to keep the diary. (Though the DPI of these pics are not so good when posted on the blog. I'll have them printed when I get back to Shanghai.)
