Day 2 in Shang-Hai part 1

On Thursday I woke up to Charlie knocking on the door of our room. After we had switched rooms she thought the bed was too hard and small. Since she had her key she went back to our old room to sleep and I slept in our new room (I was too tired to go back and forth). We got dressed and went to breakfast. Breakfast was great food rice, noodles, veggies, sausages, eggs, juice. The hotel Carolina in Shang-hai has the best buffet breakfast. We didn't eat or feel hungry again till dinnerish time. After breakfast we went sightseeing. The sky was cloudy but we figured it would be ok. We took a cab to The Peace hotel. From there we went down to the Bund sightseeing tunnel. It was an interesting attraction. There are only 2 ways to get to the other side of the city under or over it. We went under it. When we got to the other side to go outside it was raining, lightening, and thundering =( boooo. We went to the restroom and while in there I was approached by a woman selling Rolex's. She went from 150 RMB to 10 RMB lol and all I said was no and walked out. In a break from the rain we ran out to a beautiful store. The things were sooo cheap but bulky so shipping them would have cost way more than buying them. We had tea at a very nice hotel. The rain finally let up and we went sight seeing again briefly. The things to be done were not very expensive but didn't seem worth the money.
