Quick Trip: Shanghai & Mom's Visit in HK

After the trip to Manila, I flew to Shanghai with Colin and we stayed in the Pudong Area by the Bund. We had a great view of the Bund and Oriental Pearl Tower. Shanghai was preparing for World Expo so there was lot of repair work going all around the city. We did ride the Bund Tourist Tunnel that goes under the Huangpu River. It was, to describe it in one word, psychedelic.

Back in Hong Kong, we celebrated Mom's birthday. We treated her to a Peking Duck dinner. The girls were more impressed with the china.

Good dinner!
