Brandon in China - Post #2


Day 3 was an opportunity for Brandon to experience a good ol' Chinese market. We went to a market that Sabrina and I like the best. This is the Hongqiao Pearl Market. And to our surprise we found a Sioux baseball jersey. I told the store owner that this was the most popular university in the US and that if she got more of these shirts...they would sell very fast.... :) Let's see you top that...Bison fans. :)




We then got a good bite to eat at Blue Frog - one of Sabrina and my favorite places to eat and then headed down to the Jade Buddha Temple. It was a first time to visit the Temple and it is a must see for anyone visiting Shanghai. As with most Buddhist Temples there area number of chambers with various Buddhas each symbolizes something different. The smell of insense is everywhere as well. This temple also had a nice koi (sp?) fish pond...Very interesting....



Until next time...
