We Have Arrived!

Our guide George says that if you want to know about China for the last 100 years come to Shanghai. After along flight north (over the artic) we arrived in good spirits but more than a little tired. We went on a river cruise and saw the very neon-highlighted riverfront of the city. Soft pop music was the soundtrack for the cruise--very disconcerting. Our hotel is quite lovely and we are off on a garden tour and a visit to the market today.
