Well today was definitely the warmest day I can remember here. It is supposed to hit 105 on Wednesday, but thankfully we will be in Shanghai. Anyway, today, Alex, Vince, Danny, Paul, Blake, and I went to the TV tower. It was interesting, to say the least. We ended up in an amusement park. I hadn't had people stop me to take a picture with them until today. It was as though every person there was staring at Blake and I. We both had sunglasses on and there were a few times that I was looking one way and watching the people who were literally walking one way with their heads turned the other. It was almost like they had never seen a white person before. I don't mean for this to sound close-minded, but it was very interesting to me. Later on, Vince, Danny, and I went and bargained for some electronics. I think we could have done maybe 5 yuan better, but we got our speakers for about 1/3 the price they would cost us anywhere else. And they are fully functional, I might add. That is all for now. Off to the bar with the Chinese students to hang out for a while! Only 2 days until Shanghai!

you should be ready that Shanghai is much hotter than Tianjin.
