Visit to Shanghai

Bubble tea at the night market


Some interesting finds at Marks & Spencer...


Look what we bought!

Sofie and Jolene meeting for the first time... looks like they hit it off!

Hanging out on the Bund
The 2010 Shanghai Expo's Mascot: Haibao
a.k.a., "Blue Guy" as Sofie has named him...

Haibao is a "人" (people)-shaped mascot that is apparently a goodwill ambassador for the Expo; he "is embracing friends from all over the world with his arms and confident smile".
Obviously. He had me at the wave.


Look at those confident moves!
We soon found ourselves in need of another stroller, in large part so Sofie wouldn't TOUCH anything...

A glimpse of the nicer side of Shanghai: Xintiandi

Sasha excited to eat at Din Tai Fong (of all places!)!
One last lovely dinner with Eric, Julia & Jolene
