Today was a day of sightseeing of local markets where you can purchase all sorts of copy DVD, watches etc . We also went to Nanjing Road which is a huge shopping street, we were there the previous evening for dinner and Noel had been there before on business.
Following a Chinese lunch we were back on the coach and off to visit the Shanghai Museum which was a huge place and interesting for a while but museums are not really our thing but it was interesting to see all the artifacts and they did point out several times the amount of artifacts that had been stolen and taken to Taiwan.
The relationship between China and Taiwan is quite bad at this time and the Chinese have sent their warships to circle Taiwan and occasionally Taiwan does the same thing on a tit-for tat basis.
In te evening we went to a Chinese restaurant which was not too bad if you like Chinese food and there were a few people on this tour who though they would only get European food and not Chinese food and so they could not eat all that was provided, more fool them.
From the restaurant we were taken to see th famous Shanghai Acrobats and they were really amazing and watching the motorcycle whizzing around inside a metal cage with six people on it was something to behold
So back to the Hotel for a good nights sleep as w have an early start to tomorrow..
