Students arrive in Shanghai, China

 
September 6-8. After more than 14 hours travelling over the Pacific Ocean, and after four not-so-entertaining in-flight films,
eleven of thirteen students arrived on Wednesday evening at Pudong International Airport. On Thursday they toured Shanghai,
catching the sights of the newly built Shanghai Museum, the ancient Yu Yuan Gardens, and the commercial shops of Nanjing
Road. By six o'clock, jet leg was beginning to set in, but they all gathered for dinner to greet the two students who arrived
during the day. On Friday, they skirted off to Nanjing to begin their ten-week adventure....
 

Students (minus two) at the Shanghai Museum

Shanghai's very modern and impressive museum was one of the first places students got to know a little about Chinese culture. Besides exhibits of the 56 national minorities of China, calligraphy, painting, traditional furniture, and sculpture, students also got to watch a pottery demonstration.

 

On the road from Shanghai to Nanjing

Despite heavy jetlag, there was lots to see and many questions to be answered between naps on the bus trip from Shanghai to Nanjing.
