你好，

So today was our first full day in Shanghai! We had a bit of a lazy morning, just relaxing at the hostel and then we had lunch in the hotel cafe - chips with bacon and cheese on top, and a huge chocolate milkshake. It was brilliant!

Then in the afternoon we caught the subway to the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. This place was absolutely huge! There were 4 floors of exhibits, and we didn't get round them all. So we'll be going back next time. A few of the things we did see was the Animal World Exhibit, the Hi-Tech Parks Exhibit, the 4D IMAX cinema - took us back to jurassic times in the oceans, and an Interactive Room of Science.

After this we headed to the Pearl Market - this was a big underground 'shopping centre' with loads of fake expensive goods. We both did some birthday shopping with money we had ('will' in my case) received and we are both really pleased with our purchases.

And you will be pleased to know I finally bought a video camera, meaning that soon, hopefully, there might be videos of the places we visit!

Now Lucie and I are just sitting in the communal area downstairs in the hostel just using the internet for about half an hour before we dump our laptops back in our room and then we are going to head down to the hostel's bar and try out a few drinks :)

Hope everyone is well,

Until tomorrow,

再见 x
