JACOB MALONE, Radio major, writes: Today we went to the bird and flower market. PETA would have had a field day at this place. I didn�t mind much how the animals were kept. Then we went to the antique market, which was full of mass-produced knockoffs aimed at tourists. Most of my trip-mates fell for the trap. The thing I found most interesting today was going to Xintiandi. Not only did this neighborhood house the first meeting place of the Communist Party, it also had the most expensive stretch of shops and boutiques (kind of ironic). After that we went to Three on the Bund and spoke to the curator of the gallery there. Then we went and got massages--I know what you're thinking, no happy endings this time. At night the festivities were great--we took a big group to Party World, which is a karaoke palace. Each party gets their own room to sing and dance the night away.
