Up high in the sky - Jinmao tower and yuyuan garden outing

Shanghai university organised a day trip for the new international students to go around the city! This basically involved going to the observation deck of one of the tallest buildings in Shanghai and seeing the spectacular view of the industrial side of Shanghai as well as visiting the Yuyuan gardens, which is a bit of a contrast with its "vintage China" buildings.



Waiting to go up onto the Observation deck!
On level 88, that G-force in the elevator..wow!


The shadow being cast is the JinMao tower
Really quite high up there xD
Being a crazy tourist with Kristine
 Now the Yuyuan gardens, which really mostly had old buildings, not so much a garden. But still very pretty.




I thought this was funny because its an old building with a KFC sign on it! HAHA!
 Trying to haggle down some expensive coconuts at the Yuyuan markets!

Heidi has some epic bargaining skills
Cheongsam Galore!!
Mahjong at the markets
Mao's Red book
Also in this week we all managed to buy some Shanghai university sweaters! SHU represent! 


So great to roll out of bed and chuck on before class! Not that that is something I do...often. Anyways...Until next post! Keep it real! ^_^
