Underground Markets

Journal # 40 April 3, 2009

Me and Meghan woke up early and headed out for our adventure in Shanghai. Neither of us had been here before so we were not really sure what we were going to do. We walked around for about an hour and she decided that she wanted to get a Japan Rail pass, I knew I did not want to wait for her while she got the pass cause it usually took about and hour, so we split up. I found some other SAS girls and we headed to the markets. The streets of Shanghai where just like any other city. Skyscrapers everywhere, convenient stores on every corner, and people walking on the sidewalks. The markets were underground and they were the coolest markets I had ever been to!! I would go into a shop that was about 6x6 and look at some purses and then they would open a secret door and I would go into a room that was usually 12x12 filled with all types of designer purses, wallets, best, sun glass, and so much more. I spent way too much money again, and bought a lot of cool stuff. When I left the markets I walked back to the ship. I had a speech to give the next day for one of my classes so I had to get working on it. Shanghai was a lot like I thought it would be like. Pretty much a big city filled with people :)
