Today, July 5th, we woke up very early, and ate our breakfast at the Express by Holiday Inn. July 5th not only marks the 3rd to last day here, but also the Chairman’s birthday! (Mr. Chiz, if you didn’t know, looks strikingly like Mao, so google it)
After breakfast we visited the Yellow River. The vast majority of the group went on a hovercraft! Ashley, Kevin, and I, however, saved our Yuan and climbed a steep hill with two large statues on top, kind of like Mount Rushmore but less exciting.
On our way to Shanghai we experienced some Chinese fast food from Dico’s. It was an experience. After a brief plane ride we endured sweltering heat on a shopping street in downtown Shanghai.
Dinner was quite possibly the best of the whole trip, and was topped off by a cake with a neato candle singing thingamajig. The Chairman got a lot of icing put on his face by Lucia. I’m sure it was an unforgettable cultural experience. After Din we came back and finally found the Magnum bars that Mel has been raving about the whole trip, but honestly I don’t get the hype. And by the way, the word of the day is MAGNUM for those of you Pee Wee’s Playhouse fans out there.
