A nice walk today



We were suppose to go for a run at a university track, left side of the map. This also will be the place that I am going to start playing badminton. Saw the facility; man, nice!!!! We'll take some pictures of the university later. Couldn't use the track, there was an intra-university track meet. Funny, all the coaches were sitting up on the top bleachers smoking. Haha....

We walked around the campus then started to head back home. Walk along Souzhou Creek. Now, that was a section of town that seemed like 3rd world. Crumpled buildings with people still living in them. Foul smell. Then as we walked toward ZhongShan park, things improved. At a matter fact, it was like another world altogether. We saw extremely high buildings and "civilization". That is: pollution. We cut down to a side street and saw an entrance... Thought it was a local park, but it was ZhongShan Park, one of the largest and famous in Shanghai proper. Didn't bring my phone or else you guys would have experience the real Chinese atmosphere. Next time.

We left the park from its main gate and took the subway home.

A morning of supposedly running turned into a morning walking tour.

Brunch at home with left over Pumpkin soup and Frittata. Of course, moi cooked with my sou-chef. Ha Ha.
