Went to the Shanghai fake market today to do some more shopping and get some more shirts, ties, etc...Charlotte is amused because I normally hate shopping, but I don't mind it here. Probably because I usually know I am getting the cheapest deal possible. Again when you don't care if you get the item it makes bargaining very easy. Especially I try and only deal with things I have an idea what the price should be and stay away from any electronics where you don't really know the quality. We kept hoping it would rain more so we could go back to the Expo, but no luck
Tourist Area/Dinner #1
Of course around 6pm, when it was too late to go to the Expo it did start raining. At first not too bad, so we walked around and got what were supposed to be the most famous soup buns in China. The store has 3 levels, first floor is the cheapest and worst food, 2nd floor is better but more expensive and 3rd floor is the most expensive. We went for the 2nd floor. All the seats were taken and they seem to only do 1 round of cooking at a time so everyone in the restaurant was waiting for food. We grabbed some of the first round to go and they were ok, but not to the standards we have had in Taiwan.

Soup buns to go.
Since it was still raining some so we couldn't walk around we went to the next famous restaurant in the area. It has pictures of all the famous people who ate there including Bill and Hilliary Clinton and Fidel Castro. It also describes in the menu which items they ordered and which was their favorite. We went with Bill Clintons favorite dishes along with some others.
