My feet hurt. My blisters are turning into calluses. Lauren seems to have gangrene. Black street dirt covers her feet. What a day! The two of us walked ALL of Shanghai! Or so we like to tell ourselves. Our travels took us from our hotel through blocks of shops and food stands, alongside construction sites, through the Dragon Gate Mall outdoor shopping area, to a dumpling restaurant, across the river (in a ferry), to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower (we didn't go up because of Rule 1....
...gosh darn ragamuffin claus), to a gelato place in the Super Brand Mall, back to our hotel and finally to the hostel for wi fi borrowing. We still have one destination ahead of us-- Xintiandi, a hot area of restaurants, clubs and boutiques. But first, we need a break to rest and clean our feet!

Shanghai sounds like a very different place. I think you've picked up the urge to wander through the streets of big cities from me. Although it occasionally results in getting lost - remember Rome and gelato to the rescue there too? I really enjoy the 'interesting situations' you talk about.
