This room is not only for me I have to share with Archer. Do you see we have a bidet? I love it.
This is my parents favorite restaurant, and that is pork, the thing to the left is really hot, hot like jalapeños and Archer diped his whole pork into the hot sauce 
We went to the Shanghai Tower it was so cool. First was the elevator, it was the fastest elevator in the world. It went 18 kilometers. So cool, I was really exited when we got to the top it was so cool. My mom is afraid of heights it was kind of funny. Also my ears popped four times on the elevator. It was kind of sad because it takes longer to get to our apartment on the 22 floors than it took to get to the 118th floor of the Shanghai Tower. The view was amazing although the camera I was using died really quickly. 
I have no idea what this is but we found money and bracelets. And had no bell, to the right was a store, same with the left. In the back behind the “bell” there was a temple with a god in a glass case. In front there was a leaning pads so that people can pray to the gods, some small ones where pure gold. In front of the pads there was a box you put coins in but the praying people COBE briant the coin into the box.
We went to Simply Thai for lunch and we got fresh coconut water. It tasted weird, my brothers and I did not like it. My dad liked it. After lunch we walked to Shanghai Tower. It’s the second tallest building in the world. We went up to the 118th floor in super fast elevator. It goes 18 km per hour. I took a lot of pictures from the top.
This is the view from the Shanghai Tower.
Thank you for reading this.🙂😊
Our first rain in Shanghai made our day really quiet, even though we went to two malls. The rain made it so we could not go outside and play soccer, or walk around and actually burn calories. What made it even worse was that it rained all day. Overall the day was pretty cool. We used the subway to get there and I saw so many funny ads*, and fake iPhone ads. I loved walking through the malls. All the stores were awesome, because of the variety of the different stores on the different levels. It is just like L.A. mixed with San Diego downtown. the hotel bases were malls most of them were white and black themed (with some exeptions) there was so much of the same style though.
It was still stunning. And the TV tower was right outside the exit. Which makes me want to go in there and look out more than ever.
The next day I visited the JADE BHUDDHA TEMPLE. (Cue echo and deep epic voice)
It was awesome, and yet again I am stunned by the the beauty of the different sculptures and the architecture. People still do all the different prayers and ceremonies, and to think it all began thousands of years ago is amazing. What really is cool is the way they pictured their dieties. Also each culture had a different view of ther dieties. Wheather it was monothiestic or polytheistic, it was amazing the different images of the great people. All people who were Asian were there to pray it was normal to them, but I bet that place is always full of suprises and they see some thing new every time. I kinda felt bad for them because the sanctuary is so expanded and the walk between each hall is large. But to them it would be worth it. I love the amount of effort that is put into these I’ll bet whomever built thetemple became pretty popular among the Buddhists. Overall I had two great days and I cannot wait until I visit the Shanghai tower or the T.V. Tower
to conclude this post i will say one thing the long trip is worth it and

I saw this Reclining Buddha yesterday. I prayed to it. I saw people lighting incense, then they put it above their head and bowed to practice their religion. I liked it.
This is a baby worm Grayson found on his mint leaf. We were at a Thai restaurant. After I held it for a while, I brought it outside and put it on a leaf. The Thai food was so good. 😊
We went to a really cool place. It was where the people oh Shanghai went to pray. Some of the gods were made of pure gold, also they had jewels in them, it was so pretty. 
We met a really nice guy in the note book store, and I wanted to get a pen and mom said NO. Later on we where writing in a notebook to talk to each other and he was so nice he wrote I will get you the pen. He was talking about the one I wanted. And he bought it for me, well not really me for the family. Then a few minutes later he wrote u this. 
We needed a break from the tourist circuit today. We are so lucky that there is a turf outdoor tennis court on the 7th floor – it is PERFECT for soccer. One of the first things we did was get a soccer ball. The boys spent an hour and a half playing soccer on the court this morning. Third day in a row actually.
We had lunch and hit the park for a bit. The boys were literally mauled by some old Chinese men. More photos, more touching. The boys know they can politely decline, but I think they don’t mind the photos. The touching though – that creeps them out!! I have to say, we see lots of little kids (5 or under) around, but we have not yet seen any older kids or teenagers. Literally not one. Where are they hiding them?
Had groceries delivered and am attempting my second dinner made here in this tiny little kitchen. It’s tiny, but I love it!!
The first did not go so well. Fingers crossed this is better.
Here are a few more shots from the YuYuen Gardens yesterday…
Zaijian!
