An active weekend

This past weekend we went up into the fourth tallest building in the world - the Jin Mao Building. It was incredible! The views were a bit hazy because of the pollution, but still impressive.

Looking out from the Jin Mao building. That's the Huangpu River and the Pearl Tower. The Jin Mao is on the Pudong side of the river (the good side).

True love is good at this elevation.

A Journey Across the Huangpu River

This is a view from the ferry.

This weekend we traveled to Puxi to pick up some clothes from the clothing market. It's unbelievable! You just walk in, point to material and they make whatever you want - and it's cheap. So far I've gotten about four shirts and three pairs of pants made. I was disappointed to find out that parachute pants are out of the question. Bummer. We felt daring and took the ferry across the Huangpu river. This is the river that separates the city of Shanghai into two halves - Puxi (pronounce "Poo-she") and Pudong (which is where we live). We got some strange looks, but that's nothing new for us.
