We had a break from the factory yesterday (Sunday), so Bruce and Deliah and I took a trip to Shanghai for some shopping and sightseeing.

 

 

I hate to admit it, but at my request we had lunch at McDonald’s.  I just had to have a Western-style lunch.  McD’s didn’t disappoint.  A Big Mac is the same the whole world ’round.

 

We spent the afternoon on Nanjing road.  This is the huge shopping area of Shanghai, probably 2 miles of shops big and small, and as crowded as a rock concert.  I had been warned to beware of pickpockets, and was pleased to return to the hotel with all that I started out with.

 

We opted not to stay in Shanghai for dinner.  We were tired, the air quality was staggeringly bad, and it was starting to get really windy.  So, I had dinner at the hotel, and I must say it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten.  I’m kicking myself for leaving the camera in my room, because the presentation was a knockout.  If you ever stay at the Tongli Lakeview Hotel, get the Australian Beef Tenderloin at the Ziga Zaga.
