Shanghai Railway Museum


Elijah and I visited the Shanghai Railway museum recently. The highlight was the big train outside. The remainder of the museum took approximately 9 minutes to meander through. The fact that I don't read Chinese sped things up significantly. That, combined with Elijah's fear of the wax mannequins sitting in a few of the exhibits.



Another highlight included a visit to McDonald's with a view of a downtown intersection.
McDonald's delivers here in Shanghai. Soggy, cold fries anyone?
I can get Elijah to eat when I ration his pop.
We also took 2 taxi rides this day which was also a big hit with Elijah although he would have preferred the "blue" taxi over the "green" one we took both times. We also visited a Chinese Christian bookstore and picked up a chinese-version Purpose Driven Life and Mere Christianity for colleagues at work.

Catch you later.

It's really nice to see what it's like to live in Shanghai. Did I ever say "thank you" for doing this? You do a great job, and it keeps us all in touch, so "thanks" to both of you. Aimee, I met someone who knew you at Taylor(?) Did they contact you yet?

What a cute little Mickie D's commercial. Elijah could be an actor.
