Shang Hai, China

[Shang Hai view from our cabin]

In Shang Hai we went to a market that had a garden that had the same mountains made of rocks. (There were some caves made of rocks, too).

There also was a koi garden that I sat by for nearly 30 minutes.


Then we went to a Shinto temple that had a place where Taoism is practiced.


And there I met a new friend...


Then, we went to the other places [in the temple] and there was one room that was covered with a type of good luck charm on the ceiling. REALLY.


There was a little blue man that was everywhere. Finally they told us that he is the sign for Expo, which is short for the World's Exposition. The little blue man is supposed to be a drop of water.

Then we had lunch at a place where first you take your food, then you pay and eat (you see your food which is on a lot of trays and you pick what you want). [diem sum]




In Shang Hai we went to a shopping district where I got dragon pajamas and here is a picture.
