From Columbia to The Bund

I just had to snap this photo as I was riding in a cab in the French district. This one is for Katrien (hope your new job is going well).

A view from the hotel. The iPhone doesn't do this justice. You can't even see the McDonalds!

This morning I had an opportunity to go shopping at the Antique Market. It was a great experience especially since I am enjoying bartering. I have now officially finished shopping.

Yes, these are real birds in the cages.

Tammy and I traveled to "M" on the Bund this morning. A friend who had previously traveled to Shanghai had recommended it. Unfortunately they were not open for business but asked us to come in and go to the balcony. The pictures are not very clear with the iPhone, but the view was beautiful.

The Bund is part of the old international district of Shanghai. Once very famous, it's still a great tourist destination. I think! (Mike)

I fly to Beijing tomorrow morning. I will leave the hotel at 4:30 am.
