Weekend Adventures

As John and I are still trying to "figure out" Shanghai we thought it would be best to use an off weekend for exploring.

And exploring we did!

We began our adventure by taking a ferry across the river to Puxi (the west side). Oh, the ferry cost was a whoppin' 40US cents. Love it!

First stop: South Bund Fabric Market


Here you can have clothes made to fit perfectly. You pick your fabric and styles from samples or magazines. They measure you, take your orders, barter an agreed price then give you a pick up time.

We will return on Saturday to pick up 2 coats, 3 pairs of dress pants, 4 button-down dress shirts! All for about $190 total!

Next, we headed to the Fake & Pearl Market. Here they sell just what it says...fakes & pearls.

They have everything from clothes, purses, luggage, jewelry, accessories, even golf clubs. AND they have every type of brand you can imagine. Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Abercrombie, Polo, you get the idea. Once again, we shopped!

SUNDAY we walked around the Bund (the river walk),



took the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel under the river (Super Cheesy "laser light" show tunnel)


then had some dinner on the river!


We followed up the weekend by relaxing and watching some of our newest DVD purchases: Twilight and Yes Man.
