What a delightful day! My friends took me to Yang’s Fried-Dumplings, the Bund, and …. drum roll please …. the massage place! After my 3-hour meandering yesterday, I was slightly embarrassed when they guided me this afternoon. It seems that I had turned right when I should have turned left. However, the massage was well worth the wait.
In spite of my friend’s instructions about how to eat the dumplings, I managed to squirt the delicious juice all over me, the table, and the floor.
Yang’s Dumplings … Imagine how surprise I was to find the same just across the street from my hotel. It took 3/4 + via foot & subway to get to this one.
Shanghai Street (Nanjing Lu)
Most of my time in Shanghai was spent under grey skies. I was thankful for this beauty.
Incredible 90 massage costing about $30 (USD)
A pet? Or tomorrow’s lunch? This chicken was here…in the same spot, yesterday.
That chicken was still pecking away on the sidewalk along Wuding Lu.
All in all, a wonderful day in Shanghai, Thursday, June 21.

The phot thing’s annoying isn’t it? Welcome to my world
Is that what is keeping me from uploading pics?
unless you pay for a VPN. The free ones don’t upload the photos. It’s been a constant moan of mine and just another thing about China that wears me down
I actually have paid for a VPN … hmm maybe I paid for SKYPE. I might try to upgrade the VPN. Thanks. Oh! I went to the bank today to change 100 U.S. Dollars for RMB! 1/2 hour to fill out applications in triplicate, hand over my passport, sign something in Chinese (have not idea what I signed), wait while they checked and double-checked the passport … all to just exchange money so that I could spend money in the country.
This is a newer location. The oldYangs fry has been demolished apparently as have so many authentic eateries on prime land. I am sure the dumplings were the same though. How I loved them!
This is, according to my Shanghai friend, the main one now. There is a very small one near my hotel, but the dumplings are not quite as good as these were this morning. I am sorry that the original is gone; I’m seeing similar demolition and new building all over Shanghai. Constant construction. It appears that the economy here is strengthening. It’s still a tremendously crowded city.
Wow,I enjoy going out on your walks around the city
Oh thank you. I didn’t take the camera out today because I’m trying to be good and focus on my work … but I don’t want to be good. I want to play!
Cameras are such good “toys”
The dumpling shot is fantastic. 🙂
That means a lot to me, thanks.
One of the reasons I like the blog is to see which shots get a reaction … and those I might do something with
