Family

29/11
Today we went to the yuyuan garden which is a beautiful traditional garden with Shanghai's first tea house.
To get there we walked through the old shanghai.
It is a really cool area where people hang the clothes they wash in the streets. You have a lot of local small restaurants and you can buy a lot of food on the streets.
We went back to pudong which is on the other side of the river. Here we went to a very big market where you can buy a lot of really cheap/very good quality things. Off course they have the fake shit here as well but the quality of it is really good and it is so damn cheap.
We had dinner at a chinese muslim restaurant with belly dancers performing. Alex, Elisa and Mozart came along.

My family met me at the office and we went out for lunch with the staff where I work. We went to Grandmothers which is one of my favorite chinese lunch restaurants here.
In the afternoon we went to pudong to get up in the third tallest building in the world, the pudong tower. Good view but very foggy.
We had dinner with my flat mate Denise at the brazilian restaurant Latina, where you get all the meat you can eat. Really like that place.

My parents came today a couple of hours later than expected. They got screwed big time in the taxi on the way from the airport and payed atleast 5 times the regular price. It was partly because of the trafffic and because the chinese driver was a lousy cheater.
After arriving and getting into the rooms we went to a chinese foot court where you can look at all the dishes before you chose.
