A very quick update from my phone. The children broke up this afternoon for Easter/Spring Break.
It was drizzling today and I have a bit of a sniffle so decided it was best not to go to my usual spinning session. I played horn and piano for a bit and then went to the China Art Museum. I really enjoyed it when I took James and Laura, but wanted to go back and spend a little more time as I had a whistle-stop tour with them. It is a massive building, I can't remember how many floors, 5? maybe 7? I did the first two floors fairly thoroughly and just as I was starting to reach my limit (3 hours!) about 10 busloads of very noisy schoolchildren arrived in a very short space of time which made my mind up for me and I left.
Here are my favourite pictures from the day:
Funky building
Entrance ticket (free)
Nanjing Lu
Baosteel
The first car in Shanghai
Building Pudong 
Maglev high speed train
Suzhou, early 1900s
This one was entitled 'Ark of Jews'. Shanghai took in many Jews who had fled other countries.
Expo Mall
Pudong airport
Front and centre French Horn :)
A beautiful inlaid Steinway
Before I went round the museum I stopped for a Starbucks and was offered a sample of a Green Tea Latté...
You can see what it looks like...
It smelt...........of wet dog
It tasted..........sweet, grassy......and faintly fishy!
Won't be having that again :(
