Yuyuan Gardens, Shanghai, later Monday afternoon:
Our group ventures to the lovely ancient Chinese garden, built during the Ming dynasty... and now with a shopping area built around it. [Saul, Seb, and TK.]

The Bund (sort of the main drag in Shanghai), Monday afternoon: Seb, Saul, David, and (not wearing a KG shirt) TK, posing in front of the Huangpu River, with the Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower (one of the tallest structures in Asia) across the river.

Shanghai, Monday morning: The first of many hotel buffets. Who knew there was so much Chinese food in China? [David, Henry, Dee, Juan (behind), Saul, Brian, and TK... hanging ten... sort of. Seb's way in the back.]

The obligatory airport shot. Here we are, anxiously awaiting our departure from LAX. [Wila, Saul, TK, Doug.] The smiles clearly indicate we haven't gone through security yet.

We left L.A. Saturday afternoon; we got to Shanghai (via Beijing) on Sunday night, yet only flew about 12 hours. (You didn't realize there'd be a quiz, did you?)
