Our glamorous hotel: The Hotel Carolina
It was actually nice, it just had this really creepy indoor faux courtyard.
AH! So many people! This will continue to be a trend throughout the whole trip...
Nanjing Road
Apparently this is a landmark...so I took a picture of it
So many scooters/motorcycles
Kind of reminiscent of Vietnam
Walking down Nanjing Road
SHANGHAI!
We're pretty sure that this building collects energy from lightening
Look at all these people
Elisam and Brendi
View from HOK Shanghai offices
Nanjing at night!
We walked this way because it was physically impossible to get a cab at rush hour.
Every building in the city has crazy lights for nighttime.
Again, look at all those people!
Shanghai Skyline!
Area around the Bund Tunnel
Pearl Tower
We thought we were never going to find the rest of our group. Then...
and the group is reunited!!! (Obviously Skim is psyched about it)
June and me (and some random lady)
We decided to take this photo after I took about 25 with some Chinese family
(children, parents, grandparents, and all of the arrangements possible)
So, I needed to take pictures with my own Asians for good measure.
What a good looking group!
and a crazy looking group!
The best architectural diagram we saw on the trip.
On our way down to the Bund Tunnel!!!
We weren't quite sure what to expect...
...and this is what we got.
It looks like something out of a bad sci-fi movie.
Can you believe we actually paid for this?!
Pearl Tower up close and personal.
Elevated walkway
Looking down from that elevated walkway onto this giant roundabout
Proof I was there! (I'm in the lower right corner, in black)
"Tree" lined street
Louis! So glamorous!
World Financial Center Building and International Financial Center Building
IFC Building
World Financial Center
aka Bottle Opener
"Bottle Opener" from the side
Inside the Bottle Opener I spotted this woman wearing a...
PANDA SWEATER!
Hilarious model as we waited for the elevator
Walking into the elevator. Again, it looks like something from a sci-fi movie
Inside the elevator
Looking down on Shanghai from the tallest observatory floor in the world.
The observatory deck had glass floors!
Elisa suspended out over Shanghai
Jumi being cute
Brendi, testing the strength of the glass.
We decided to walk down 3 flights...Here are the first few steps.
All the buildings look like they're gonna change into transformer!!
