Day 4 - Monday

Today we took a trip around the Chinese Supermarket - which generated a few strange looks as the supermarrket is used mainly by the locals - but it was interesting to see the live toads and turtles in the tanks ready for selection!! Wasn't a fan of the different varieties of chicken feet on offer either - being here for two weeks could turn me into a vegetarian!!!

The Entrance to the Chinese Gardens

Couple of nice Pagodas

Mr Whitaker looking as cheerful as ever!!

A really tranquil place - considering it's in the middle of the city

Push me Pull Me - although Gaz looks like he's having a loo break!!

From behind the Waterfall in the Chinese Gardens

Modern skyscrapers behind the old town buildings

We were forced to pose together......

My company for the two weeks - help!!

See even Mr Whitaker is trying to escape!!

They carry anything on pushbikes - take a look at the fence panel!

After the Chinese Gardens we took a trip to the markets, these were hectic with vendors shouting as you walked past trying to encourage purchases of watches, handbags, coats, shoes... you name they could get it.. The most enjoyable part of the markets was the cloth markets where you could get anything you like made-to-measure.

Well it didn't take me long to see a coat I wanted - my head is now spinning with thoughts of a hole new made to measure wardrobe - Mr Whitaker is shaking his head at the thought of the money I could be spending here!!........... I'm loving it!! ;0)

Were off out to Xintiandi shortly i've been told were going to Simply Thai for dinner... Mmm food!!
