So i woke up today feeling worse than ever from jetlag. I decided to get some room service to help me wake up. Also, I was lazy.



picture of my breakfast. soy taro milk drink. chinese green tea. congee with the various accoutrements. various dim sum. those crispy fried strip thingss.......and a fruit plate.



so after breakfast....i napped. but then i went to the business center. fun times!



view of the path on the way to the pool.



another view of the....view.



Shanghai Grand Theater as seen from the pool walkway. very close. ill check it out later to see if anything in english is going on. even if its not, ill give it a whirl. weee



looking from the pathway:



and the final pathway to the pool.

some kid on riding around on the thing



some "lovers lane" type area in the park that i came across.



thats a lot of people crossing the street



a mall i came across. over the course of the day, i came to realize there was no less than 3 megamalls within 10 mins walking time.



more views of the mall



"banana leaf curry house" - where i had dinner



halfway through my meal, some ladies came out and started singing whitney houston's "i wanna dance with somebody" with acoustic guitar and drum accompaniment. the blur in the picture is from her frantic dance moves. please note the guy sitting in front of her.



and they were joined later by a main wearing a cops hat - he sang into his baton. it was too good to pass up and a picture would not have done it justice so here's my first video. sorry for the sidewayness of it.
