I was able to spend most of the day today discovering Shanghai.  Betty and Shi took me all over.  The open markets are really interesting.  We went to the oldest temple in Shanghai.  Each person is represented by an animal or a god based on the year he or she is born.  This is the year of the horse.  I am a goat.  Nothing exciting about that and no one is celebrating me. The city was spectacular last night it was fully lighted and filled with cool sights and sounds.  This morning we took the subway during rush hour.  That was a great experience.  I have never seen so many people all in one place at one time.  We were squished and squeezed and no one acted the least bit stressed out.  We are heading from Shanghai to the school where I will teach. It is a couple hours by train and then a short drive by car into the city.  I'm looking forward to meeting the kids and teachers at the school and getting started with my job!
