Shanghai: Day 1

Well, we’ve officially survived our first day in China. Some of the highlights were taking an hour long bus ride to get to a friend’s house, shopping for necessities at the closest thing to Walmart that they have here, and eating our first Chinese meal. (At the restaurant, poor Dave had to settle for a sandwich. He’s allergic to peanuts, and I accidentally forgot to put Benadryl in my purse.) We also learned a few Chinese words and characters (including China—pictured here—Shanghai, east, and peanut).

We’re still feeling a little jet-lagged (especially Dave—he conked out at about 8 this evening). But tomorrow we’ll see more of the city and hopefully have time to post some great pictures.
