Top 5 reasons why I fell in love with Shainghai in two days

I really don’t know what’s wrong with me. Every time I travel outside the U.S. I fall in love with the country that I’m visiting.  This time was not different.  Here are five reasons why I fell in love with Shainghai

First:  Friendly people

The Chinese people are very friendly, warm and humble.  In only two days, I’ve met wonderful people.

Second:  Lotus Flowers

Lotus Flowers have been my favorite flowers for a very long time. Now that I came here and saw so many images of the lotus flower I felt really good. But this flower is so amazing that it can even be eaten.  Last night we ate, Ou, which is the root of the Lotus flower filled with rice and sweet sauce. It is delicious!!!  yet another reason to love both Shainghai and Lotus flowers.

Third: beautiful city day and night

Enough said.

Fourth: transportation system
Taxi rides are quick, cheap and fun.  The subway is fast and confusing, and the bus a bit dangerous. 

And last but not least: reporting
Over the last two days, reporting has become a new exciting challenge. I think all of us have enjoyed this part of the trip.
