Downtown in Shanghai - August 12, 2006
We left Suzhou 8 in the morning with another couple. Arrived FuZhou Road around 10. Spent the next two hours in the Book Mall. Favorite place for our husbands. We, ladies, went shopping. It's a feast for the eyes just window shopping. Went to the Bund and ate lunch at Dragon & Phoenix Restaurant at Peace Hotel, East Nanjiang Road. We had the perfect view of the Pearl Tower from the 8th floor. It was a misty day; nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. The barges paraded in front of us non-stop in the harbor. That showed us how much business is going on in Shanghai. After lunch, we walked leisurely down NanJiang Road. I think the best buy comes when I am relaxed. Before we knew it, we were ready for an ice cream coffee from KFC. Next, we went to XinTianDi, an area of upscale shops and restaurants. We ate at Paulaner Brauhaus. Well, folks, this place is a must if you love sausages and pork knuckles. I cannot begin to tell you how good the food was. In addition, the Philippino 3 persons band was fantastic, singing songs of ... let's say, our generation's. "....., downtown; ......, downtown; ....." We got home by 10, exhausted but delightful for our time spent in Shanghai.... downtown!
