Today, we went to a temple called Chenghuang, which was very picturesque. The weather was pretty cold and foggy, or smoggy (no idea which one), but I still got some nice pictures. I didn't get much detail from the history about the place since the tour guide was mostly in a different place than I was, but that was okay. For lunch, the place was a famous restaurant in Lv Bo Lang with a ton of plates again. Most of our meals take place in really fancy restaurants where they bring like 25 plates or so for about 8-10 people. There is way too much food for anyone to eat, but at least there is enough variety that I can find something that I don't mind eating.
Later, we had some free time to shop around and then went to see the Shanghai skyline. The skyline was impressive, but unfortunately it was really foggy, and we couldn't really see all the buildings clearly. Dinner was at a place with a view, but they sat us in a place where we couldn't see it. I went for vegetarian fare this time, and was sort of glad that I did, since I got to miss the turtle stew, squab, and other lovely dishes that came out.
The fun nighttime activity here was karaoke, which was awesome because they fit the whole group into one large karaoke room. I got the chance to see who the most outgoing singers are in the group and listen to some of their signature songs. One or two were good, but the microphones were crappy and you couldn't really hear them very well. Still, this was a really fun night.
