Shanghai (part 1)

Road Trip, I mean train trip!!! The World Expo happened to be in Shanghai and was ending October 31st.  Landon really wanted to go so just a few days before it ended; we bought 17-hour train tickets to Shanghai!



No trip would be complete without a bathroom picture.  The squatter is actually open to the track and you can see it as it moves.

After a night on the train we arrived early in the morning in Shanghai, got a hotel, and went straight to the World Expo. It was huge.  Instead of HOV lanes there were EXPO driver lanes.


USA BABY!!

There were so many people; actually there are always so many people everywhere in China.
We tried to hit up lots of the pavilions, but there were some lines that were 6 hours long.  Even if there were no lines, I think it is impossible to go and visit all of them in one day.  Here are some pictures at the end of the day with the buildings and bridges that have changing lights.


We were so tired by the end of the day and our feet hurt so badly.  We were ready to go back to the hotel to sleep!
