First day off in Shanghai

Hello all,

Well I got to Shanghai on this past Wednesday and it is now Sunday and it is our first day off. I spent the morning having breakfast with a friend who just got back into town and then I went to Walmart again. Here is one of the pictures I took while I was there:

Yeah those are live frogs and the second picture are live frogs in a plastic bag going home with someone and I’ll say this I wasn’t in the Pet section of Walmart.

After that I came back to the hotel before going out to the airport to pick up a new employee. The way I got there was to take a taxi to the MagLev train station and then I rode the MagLev train out to the airport. The reason I’m mentioning it is because the MagLev train only was a 7 minute ride. The train left exactly at 13:00 and picked up speed, A LOT OF SPEED. Check out the pictures and keep in mind that the car ride I took back to the city took about half an hour on a highway.

I hope everyone is doing well. I’m making my list of what I’m going to take to Canada and what I’m going to bring off of tour today so I am getting close to leaving.
