Our first full day in Shanghai included a trip to the Shanghai Museum (including viewing their gallery of 1,001 bronze wine vessels), walk down Nanjing street (aka Shanghai's Michigan avenue but with more bikes), view of the Pu Dong skyline from the Bund, and an amazing veggie meal with Craig Lan and Vinny Quan

In addition, Cheri and I survived our 1,000,000th close call from a bike, car, and/or bus
