The past two days have been a whirl wind...we have been in long training and they are kinda boring but...yesterday we went to lunch and had a traditional meal...food was preorder and brought out and put in the middle of the table...everyone just serves themselves from there...We got fitted for our pants and then we were able to leave and go back to the park in the middle of Shanghai...I found out we will be in Shanghai for another month which is kinda of exciting because there is so much to do.

Living out of a hotel is hard we dont have a dresser or a closet so it is hard to get settled here.  What else... the food is very interesting it is a lot of just testing to see what I like and dont like...surprisingly it is hard to find a place that will serve rice...


Today after training we were needing to get out and do something fun so we went back down to downtown Shanghai and went to the river...it is soo beautiful at night all the buildings are lit up and it is just amazing...My friend got asked by three different people to take pictures with them because she is american.  I am finding that people are quite interested in talking to us and finding out alittle bit about us.  I got to haggle my first purchase tonight brought the lady at the store down from 180 rmbs to 100 rmbs for a duffle bag...so excited...I also tried my first street food...where they cook food on a stove on the street...I got fried rice it was so good.  After that we found a sidewalk cafe bar and had a drink and just chilled for a bit.  It is truly just amazing to be down in downtown.  Nanjing Road is the big shopping area...It's lights are almost like the streets of Vegas.  Here people come up to tourist and try to get you to go to there shops and buy watches and luggage.  It is hard to get them to go away when they start trying to talk to you. 

Tomorrow we go for medical checks and then we have the day free....We shall see what new adventure I get to go on tomorrow~
