Sept 20th

Today was a completely free day. I worked on my project a little bit and caught up on my blog. Then a couple of us decided to walk to Nanjing street (which is like Time Square). It was pretty cool lots of shops to see and walk through. Everyone was also really friendly on the street. Always offering us the chance to buy watches and hand bags. We wouldn't even have to walk in to a store! We did find this mall on the street that was laid out much like Pioneer Mall in downtown Portland. Which we ended up browsing through all the levels and finding several funny store names such as 'Easy Shop' which sold lingerie of all things. There was also a restaurant that appeared to be fairly fancy which was aptly named 'Dollar Shop.' Then we were hungry.
We found a Subway of all things just a block off the main strip. luckily our stomachs saved us from standing in a most fierce rain. It let up a bit, but we decided to save getting wet and take a taxi back. Later tonight we are going out, but we don't know where. We are trying to find a good bar to go to and supposedly Edwin knows a couple places. We shall see!!
