DAY 7 [ Shanghai ] : Cut From A Different Cloth

Wake up, shower and have a quick lunch here before running out. Vegetables mostly and very little meat. Auntie Wendy says to never buy vegetables at a restaurant because they don't wash them or aren't fresh enough. These taste amazing, like they were just pulled from the ground and prepared by the maid about 5 minutes later. The maid is a simple farm girl who's chinese name escapes me right now. She is very curious about me because i can see her looking at me in reflections and checking out the details of my person like my freckles. I don't think she's been around any non-chinese people that much.

Oki and I jump in the taxi and went to the fashion district. You can find a tailor and get some fabric and they will make you anything you want. We are getting black suits. I'm also thought some cords and a shirt would be good too.



After that we ate lunch AGAIN! I'm going to be a house when I return. I don't know how people can or want to eat so much.

We walked toward the river that snakes it's way through downtown Shanghai and over to the ferry to cross the water. Monte and Wendy wanted to take us to the other side of Shanghai to show us their investment property that they had recently acquired. $8,000 US a month and worth every penny. A view rivaling only the one from the other house with all the amenities.

From the ferry ride you can see the sky is the most beautiful dark slate grey sky against the evenly spaced out silver buildings. Buck Rogers only wished he had it this good.
