Took the ferry from pudong (where we are staying) into shanghai today. Walked around some very cool old neighborhoods and got some grilled octopus and a soft round flat-bread stuffed with something unidentifiable but good. Next we had dim-sum for lunch and ate crab and pork soup-dumplings, stir fried pea-shoots, shrimp and egg fried rice and red-bean paste dumplings for dessert. Next we went to a tailor recommended by our hosts here and ordered custom-made cashmere coats for an unbelieveably low price. They have books filled with the ads for all of the top label designers, you pick out the one you like, then pick a fabric and they make a perfect knock-off for you in a few days for a small fraction of what you would pay in a store. I really like shanghai a lot!
