June 11th
This day we arrived in the craziest city I have ever been to in my life, Shanghai. The amount of people is unbelievable and guaranteed to give you a big headache. The experience I want to talk about was our night that we had, that was set up by our guide Joe. Since one of his friends had connections to one of the better clubs in Shanghai, we were able to get VIP at the club. I have never walked into a place with a feeling similar to a celebrity. We were taking to our tables where we were provided with platters of fruit. We also had multiple waiters taking our orders while delivering them as soon as we ordered them. We also had bouncers that kept other patrons to walk by our tables which made our drinks and bags safe to keep while we were dancing. There were also performances by dancers from the club and no they were not the exotic type of dancers. It was overall entertaining night in which I got to live like I was in a dream and not in reality. The most special aspect of the night was that it was our last night for our group to be all together one last time. It was fun talking about previous things that happened and to laugh while becoming future lifelong friends. I thought this was a good send off before we had to get back to reality back in the states.
