UMD LSBE Study-in-China 2009

The first day In Shanghai. I was really looking forward to be going to Shanghai because I have been there and I knew what it was like. When we first got there we got lunch and then went to the mall after. This mall was huge and had everything that you can ever imagine. It was 10 floors high and it looked like a high-class place. As we walked around we came across some store that were very familiar to us. We first saw Best Buy so we went in and checked it out. It was very similar to the ones back home but one major difference that I saw there was the fact that it didn't have video games. I thought that was kind of weird. It was also cool to see a store that is based out of Minnesota all the way across the world. Another thing that was cool about the mall was the fact that it had a skating rink inside of it. I was amazed to see this because the Mall of America doesn't even have one. Once we left the mall and ate dinner we got to go on a boat ride on the bund. This was so awesome to see on the river. I had seen it before but I only got to see it on land. So getting the chance to see it again at night on a boat was one of my highlights from being in Shanghai.
