I am sorry I don't have more pics, I took a good amount of video at the acrobats performance. I have one more week of studying here in Shanghai. Than I will be off for two weeks going to The Forbidden City, The Great Wall and many other interesting places. During this time I will get to drag along all of my luggage because I have secured an internship in Beijing, which is our last stop in the trip. I will be working with the CEO of a company to help with stratagies of increasing the market share of his business. Since the Aggie took over 2 years ago he has gone from 30 employees to over 300 and wants to triple that in the next 5 years. It should be interesting. If I haven't replied to any comments, it is because the government has cencored me from looking at any blogs including my own. I am leaving for Hong Jiu in the morning, so that should be a fun weekend trip. The last weekend trip we made was horrible, resulting in us standing up for the 3 hour train ride back to Shanghai. I hope everyone is doing well. Have a great weekend. If you have any comments email me at mlsag07@yahoo.com. Again spell check isn't working so tough.

Ok, hey everyone I have posted a few pictures, sorry it took so long I am in the shaddiest internet cafe ever right now. I have done and seen soo many things, the other day I played a pick up basketball game with 3 buddies and like 20 chinese peopleand they foul like no other. Of course so do I but they were being babies and I just got even. Today I played a pick up soccer game on the feild close to my room, we played with some guys from Hungary and a bunch of chinese people. I startede my chinese class and wow I need to study hard half of it was over my head and I get around pretty easily here. I can get taxis tell them where to go and order beer I am good to go. I go to crazy tai food and asain food places often, but I have made a stop at Mcdonalds and pizza hut. I have eaten currie, yes i did. I have also seen people ramdomly peeing on the street so that was funny. I get stared at constantly and even more when I start speaking chinese to them. At pizza hut we where surrounded by army guards with sawed off shot guns because there was a guy in there that was important. He had a bullett proof vest and everything. Well I have to go keep checking. My spell check isnt working so too bad if you cant read something.

There are skyscrapers everywhere, I have not seen one one story building with in 50 miles crazy. It also smells like shit but only in spots.

Modern meets old stuff
