LO SMITH, Photography major, writes: A lot has happened in the last three days. I love Shanghai!!! But the language barrier sucks and the toilets are just holes in the ground. We have seen the Buddhist Jade temple, which I loved, and Old Shanghai. We also have seen the French and British Concessions. I am so glad that my roommate and our group rocks. I have some pics that i think are interesting that I would like to share. I have enjoyed the food, haggling for gifts for back home, and the tea-house experience. Unfortunately, my best friend Julia cannot come to Shanghai, but my dad's friend from work might be able to set something up for the "gang"; he also lives here in Shanghai. I hope I can find a good final art project for this class--that is my only fear. Well, besides that the drivers come first in China, and the walkers enter the "no man's land" [when they enter the street.] I usually see my life flash before my eyes every time I enter a cab or the tour bus!
