The Great Wall was one of the top priorities for this trip. I did go last time I was in Beijing but my school organized the trip and I was unsure how we were going to get there this time.

Today we had a big agenda to fill. I thought we would go visit the Bird’s nest at the Olympic Park, Tian An Men square, the Forbidden City, and San Li Tun.

Nothing really eventful happened yesterday. We caught our plane to Shanghai from Beijing and arrived around 5. Riding the subway to our hostel’s stop took FOREVER, probably a 1.5 hr train ride. I’m not sure if there’s just more stops here or that the trains are slower than in Beijing.

Ok I’ll admit, this is the part of the trip where blogging becomes a little challenging for me to keep up with. Not that I don’t like doing it but it takes time and effort to recap what we did that day and get the pictures cropped and uploaded.

We didn’t really have much of an agenda for our last full day of Shanghai besides meeting up with my friends Aaron and Gulya from BLCU so we asked Dinghan where we could go to check out some worthwhile stuff. He suggested the Fabric Market where you can bargain for clothes and suits.
