Today Jeff, Michelle, Jenny, Leslie and I went with Jack to the Shanghai Museum. Jack is a friend of the families' son who speaks some English so between Jeff, Michelle and Jack we were able to get around the city by subway. Jack is 15 and used to taking the subway downtown.
Ying, JoMa, and JoJo went to JoMa's Mothers' funeral and burial.
The Shanghai Museum was high on our list of places to vist in Shanghai because it possesse
s a large collection of precious works of art. It has a high-quality collection of ancient Chinese bronze, ceramics, painting and calligraphy. It is located in very center of the citya on the People's Square. The building has a unique architectural form of a round top with a square base, symbolizing the ancient Chinese philosophy that the square earth is under the round sky, is a distinguished architectural combination of traditional feature and modern spirit.
After we looked at evrything in the museum of interest to us we went outside and walked over to Nanjing Lu which is a pedestrian walkway along the shops. We had lunch at Pizza Hut before walking outside. The walkway was crowded with many people, more than Jeff normally sees there and he thought it was because of the Chinese NY's holiday which goes on for 3 weeks.
