Day 1 and 2 in Shanghai

The train people wake us up at 5 in the morning. From the train, we checked into the Hew Harbour hotel. We ate lunch at McDonald and it was fun. At 2 we meet up and with to a garden place. It was pretty touristy. Sam and I wonder around for a bit then went back to the hotel for dinner. We ate at an ok place for dinner and from dinner went to the Jinmao Tower. The Jinmao Tower 88 stores and we went to the top. The view was awesome, shanghai is neat at night. To get back to the hotel we took a boat then walked along the bund. The bund is a street with a lot of old banking building.
Thursday, we leave the hotel at 8:50 and walked to the Shanghai Museum. Madelyn, Sam and I spend about 3 hours walking around the museum. The museum was full of ancient art, such as ceramics sculpture and coins. After that we all meet at the Shanghai Biennial. Sam, Madelyn and I went to an art district kind of like the ones in Beijing. After a nice taxi back to the hotel we went to a Chinese-Muslin restaurant that was tasty.
