shanghai part 1

the bund

did anyone see the new james bond movie? well we did, and i was so excited to go here ^^^ because bond goes here in the movie. it was just as cool as i was picturing it in my head. p.s. have i ever mentioned how i think dawson is james bond?  the similiarities are eerie.

i was very impressed with dawson because even though he is afraid of heights, he had no hesitation stepping out onto a glass floor 863 feet over the ground. i was expecting to have to be the calm, brave one and coax him out there to take a picture, but he had no problems. besides some sweaty hands.

lunch and wax museum

is anyone noticing how every meal is almost the exact same? well i was at this point.

these were real grown up chinese women shoes^^^

back when they used to bind their feet, the ideal size was 3 inches.

3 INCHES!

would it surprise you if i told you that it was the male gender who convinced them this was attractive?

hotel time

what better way to end a night, then having two chinese women come up to your room to give you a massages? don't think of it as creepy, think of it as great room service! it was $20 a person for an hour and a half head to toe massage.  talk about a good deal! it was a little lot different than an american massage, but still very worth the money. plus, the little asian ladies that gave us chinese lessons during the massages were so sweet! but maybe i just liked them because they kept telling me i looked 18 years old.

and to top it off, we ordered some american food to our room.  ^^^

nothing has ever tasted more heavenly than that club sandwich and sweet potato fries. (remember how i mentioned i might have been getting sick of chinese food at this point?) definitely worth the FORTUNE it cost.
