Shanghai

We arrived at our next place in China, Shanghai.  Shanghai is very big and has some very cool looking buildings and lots of museums and parks.  We lived in an apartment that was very hard to get to.  First you have to go down a little alley, then enter a gate.  After that, you go through a door that leads to someone's kitchen.  Then there was a door that led to our apartment.  Our apartment was nice.  It had a lot of fake books everywhere.  Also, it was close to subway station.

We went to some museum and parks:

1. The Shanghai museum -  It was free (😀) and it was huge.  It mostly had stuff like pottery and jade and paintings from ancient times. I noticed for the pottery it got better and better and more colorful as the art was made closer to the present day.
2. Urban Planning Museum - this museum had a GIANT model of Shanghai.  When I said it was giant I meant SUPER GIANT, about the size of a bedroom!  
3. Jing'an Sculpture Park - this park had some really weird sculptures, like a hot dog man and and animals made out of discarded shared bikes.  It was also very big!  My dads favorite sculpture was a circle of houses stacked up.  
4. Yuyuan Garden - This garden was very pretty, except for the fact that it was a weekend so it was super crowded.  It had lots of ponds and traditional houses.  We did not stay there for long, because it was so packed.
