Shanghai Highlights

While I slaved away at work on Thursday and Friday, Will showed Antje around Shanghai.  _DSC2100 _DSC2104
They took the tram through the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel that gets you across the HuangPu river coupled with the appearance of blow-up dolls, flashing colored lights and booming voices.

I met them for a late lunch at DingTaiFeng in XinTianDi.

Antje won 10 yuan back for lunch
And Antje won 10 yuan from her scratch and win lunch receipt! Woohoo!

That evening, we visited JZ Club, a jazz bar which featured a great performance, then hopped over to Jade on 36(th floor) at our hotel, Shangri La for a night cap and an evening view of the city.China Trip November 2009 088

Snuck out to meet them for lunch - found this restaurant serving laksa (a Singaporean dish) at one of the many little stores on TaicangLu!!

Uncanny!

Tennis at Shangrila _DSC2285 _DSC2358
That evening, while I had to attend a work dinner, Will and Antje engaged a private coach and played tennis atop our hotel. I was jealous.

When I finally got done with work commitments, we hit the town for some nightlife!  Cheers!
