We started out this foggy day by going to the bend where you can look at all the news parts of Shanghai. When someone says "Shanghai", this is probably the image you think of:
All of these buildings have been built in the last 20 years.
For those of you that have seen Mission Impossible 3, you maybe recognize the building on the right as the one Tom Cruise "jumps" from and the one of the left as the one he lands on!
After spending a little over an hour there getting all the pictures we could, we went to a garden that was built in the Ming Dynasty, finished in 1559. This garden is one of the last remains of ancient chinese architecture that you can see in Shanghai.
A creative wall in the garden:
After that we were released into a jungle of shops and stalls to buy food and whatever other nik naks we wanted.

After that we went to the "Little Companion Theater" to rehearse for our performance that night.
The performance that night went very well. Our audience was very happy to listen to us. One older man shook my hand for what felt like several minutes with a huge smile on his face. It made me feel like I was really putting my effort to good use. All the work we had put into the songs, the work I had put into my solo song, I would do it all for the smile I saw on that mans face. Tomorrow we would get on a flight to Hong Kong.
