China Day 28: Last Full Day in China!

And what a day it was.

Grabbed breakfast with friend at KFC. Yay for KFC 6 RMB breakfasts! Pretty much like a breakfast dollar menu. Too bad KFC doesn't do free delivery like McDonald's, otherwise I would have ordered from there everyday. (Photos again courtesy of Wakefield. I continue to lament the loss of my camera.)

KFC breakfast. Om nom nom. :D

Afternoon adventure was Qibao (七寶), which was pretty out there (as in on the edges of the city), and nothing like what I expected. There were so many people, but I should have expected that. It's China. It was also...raining. Boo. But it had been raining for a week now, so...also expected. There were aisles and rows of outdoor shops and food places and hidden among these were random exhibits about Qibao crafts and trade. We went to two: one called "Cotton Textile Mill" (棉織坊) and the other the "The Old Trades House" (老行當).

The cotton textile mill strangely came with an exhibit on traditional marriage/weddings. Depicted is the bed for the newlyweds, which was ridiculously small.

We ran around everywhere looking for this one bell tower...and it ended up being this tower thing at the entrance. Fail. 

See the little piggy? I threw a coin in on the first try! Whoo!

Wakefield had fish balls. They looked good. Q.Q

We split a red bean paste pastry of some sort. Also good. :D

After Qibao, my dinner consisted of eating bread I had bought earlier from 85 Bakery in my room, but I ended up going to a burger place called Piros with Wakefield later. I didn't eat, but he did, and he said it was really good! As in one of the best burgers you can get in Shanghai. They also speak mostly English, so we made the mistake of speaking to them in Chinese and thus being designated the Chinese speakers for the rest of the evening. :P

Burger!

We got back around 11:00 pm-ish. Went out to karaoke at around 12:30 am, and did not return until 6:00 am. A new record for me in terms of how late I have ever stayed up. I pretty much took a ten minute nap before we had to head down at 7:45 am to meet in the lobby. Haha.
