Shanghai Feb. 2014


     Häagen Daz ice cream parlors pack containers to go in a frozen food bag like we used to get at the supermarket and with a little bag of dry ice. Clever. 
     Left over from World Expo 2010 is the Saudi pavilion. It houses the largest IMAX screen on earth. You are on a moving sidewalk that puts you in the center of the film, showing scenes from Saudi Arabia. A treat for the scences. 
   The Chinese pavilion is now an art museum and it is massive. The building is built like bright red Lincoln Logs in an upside down pyramid style. Beautiful. 
    I stayed in his area as this is where my friends live. Just walked in the very cold rain with two days in the museums. 
     My friends went with me to spend the day in Hangzhou. West Lake is up in the top of places to see in China. It was so cold and gloomy that it really got missed out for us. Then my ticket for the stored luggage disappeared. Never to be seen again.  Thank Clod that my friends were there to speak Chinese, I shudder to think of those consequences, I was catching a train.
