So we left the hotel and we got in a taxi and went to the Expo.We got to an different Entrance then the other day, last time we got in the B section now the taxi driver drove us to the C SECTION!!!!! I liked B section more,it had more souvenier shops and more restaurants. the first thing we did was go to the USA pavillion, it was CROWDED!!!!!! the first video was americans saying chinese words. we had to ask someone if we could stand on the side, she said stuff like whats your country? we saw another video it was just about how USA people do stuff,the other video is about working together. after that there was a gift shop attached to the pavillion,I bought something for 20$$$ after that we went to the Africa pavillion it had all this Africa stuff and it had Asian toilets we took pictures of it we thoght it was funny. we went to pizza hut it was discusting, terribbly bad pizzas.

EXPO AND HAIBAO ATTACKS!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!

June 9th

Today we woke up and ate a DELICIOUS breakfast,as always at the Le Royal Meridian. Then we got ready and went to the Expo(also known as the Worlds Fair). Oh, by the way,Hannah(your favorite) is speaking. After a EXTREMELY long taxi ride,we got to the Expo. I will tell you one thing,it was NOT, I repeat NOT a good day for the you-know-what. It was pouring down rain and we did NOT have an unbrella. Oh, I forgot to tell you,2 nice chinese ladies let us borrow unbrellas. Oh, did I mention NOBODY speaks ENGLISH around here? Well, they do NOT.We went to 2 exhibits at the Expo. The line took FOREVER for us to get IN to the Expo. We went to Macau,and a place called Urabian. Macau took FOREVER. Finally, we got in. Thank goodness it was worth it. Then we got hungry for a bite. We heard there was a Pizza Hut here, so we searched EVERYWHERE for it. On the way we got some souvenirs.We bought the mascot of the Expo, named Haibao. Me and Emma are CRAZY for Haibao.....Every type! I ended up buying 2 today and 3 the next. Emma bought 1 today and 2 the next. We ended up going to KFC and boy, was it CROWDED! I wanted chicken tenders but they didn`t speak english so I got 2 chicken WINGS instead. Then we went to Urabian. It had no line.........Sweet! They must've worked really hard on THAT one. It was okay,not as great. It was about families in different parts of the world.

Then we left the Expo and went to a MASSAGE place called Dragonfly! We were ALL in Heaven...Heaven on Earth! My Mom and I got a foot massage and head and shoulder massage. Emma got just a head and shoulder massage. Then we got home and went to bed, and I FINALLY got my eyes SEALED shut.

SHANGHAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JuNe 8th


Emma speaking Hannah woke up at 3;23 IN THE MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! since the sleep medicine made Hannah AWAKE!!!!!.! Hannah couldn't sleep,we're jumping on our bed and watch tv till 6;30. mom was still asleep. I think Dad woke up mom beacause dad was awake before mom. For breakfast, we went downstairs to a HUGE buffet, the breakfast was the BEST!!! Well after breakfast we went to the temple. People were worshiping Budha they didn't believe in Jesus,instead they believed in a good man named Budha. There were people puting sticks in fires, they were singing, worshiping,buying stuff at soveneir shops. We took alot of pictures here too.

We walked to the Wang poo river,Boy ,was it big or what I saw boats in the river and all these buildings. PEOPLE! PEOPLE! PEOPLE! This big road had big amounts of PEOPLE. They were around me and Hannah BIG time.seniors,adults,teenagers,toddlers, all wanted to take photos with me and Hannah. Few were asking what our names were and an hour later we went to a tunnel under the Wangpoo they had pretty lights, it was so COOL!!!!!! Then we went to the top of a building it was a HOTEL!!! It showed the floors we were on,at the top there was a gift shop!!! We saw the entire city of Shanghai from the top of the building!

After that, we went to Xin Tandi. It is a very trendy area with lots of Americans. We had lunch at Paulaner. It is a German restaurant.

We went back to the hotel and went swimming in the pool with dad. Mom took a nap and slept till 3am. After swimming, we were so tired. We went to bed at 6.
