_ S0 I havn't blogged in a while sorry about that, I was in da midst of traveling again away from the culture shock of a city that Xi'an introduced to me to the beautiful city of Shanghai that reminds me of TIMES SQUARE except they have a whole bunh of sky scrapers. For one because china is so over populated and the onechild policy is taking into affect most of the buildings have to go vertical instead of horizontal. In the city of shanghai we see this idea of tall buildings growing rapidly. In this city they have he second most tallest building in the world which is 101 stories high. Amazing.
_ We are staying at a 5 star hotel...hahahahah...amazing. SInce I havn't blogged in a while let me recap to you all the nights I didnt blog. We all went to the club with my professor...it was too funny.....Surprisingly there was nothing but english music playing. Once I walked in I grabbed a seat and they started playing OBAMA "Yes we can"by W.I.L.L.I.A.M. Yes the Obama effect is over here as well. =) But besides that I met some wonderful chinese students who happened to be on the dance floor. It is now a proven fact that it doesn't matter where I go I am still going to have a good time if it involves music. I started dancing by myself in the V.I.P lounge then when we all went downstairs to the dance floor I met the students they were so cool. I now became the foreigner and it didnt feel bad. I met these boys named Vincent, Jeffery, Nick and Matthew and they all were fly looked like they were from the States. (pictures soon come) I spent the whole night talking to them and I was just so excited that I was able to make international friends.
_Flight to shanghai was delayed but we made it and as soon as we landed we had to rush to SIFT (Shanghai International School For Trade) and we were greeted by professors and other professionals as well as students who were so excited to talk to you and practice their EnGLIsh. They held a show or us which was very entertaining and allowed me to view the different clubs that they had to offer and what they were good at. I was so excited to meet new people. I participated in a chopsticks race alongside Sofia who is now my new friend who had to use her left hand to pick up the peanut we both had to transfer to another bowl. It was a wonderful experience, although we didnt win=/. The bright side is I was excited to exchange information with her =) She was so innocent she was excited and told me she was so happy that I was so open with her and was excited to meet her too. By the end of the night we were teaching eachother about our languages and ethnicities. Lets just say she was running around saying Mi nombre es U Jo ( i think that is how you spell her chinese name) However, the experience was wonderful. I enjoyed myself.
_As far as today we did alot to even mention. We went to Shanghai's gardenwhich was located near their French Concession which has alot of areas you can shop in. I bought myself and others some gifts(I was a bit excited about that). Because Shanghai has a history of only 200 years it is a bit more urbanized than most of the other provinces and towns in China. We then made our way to an exhibit that showed how Shanghai will look in the future (10 years) which was very precise and detailed about how eco friendly they want to continue their enviornment to be. We had chinese food for lunch and dinner. Then we saw an acrobatic show.And now I am here blogging to you all tired as shit.
_I will put pictures up tomorrow=)
