Shanghai

The train arrived in Shanghai and we exited for the faculty dorm that Cho had arranged for us to stay in. We would walk along Nanjing Road and it was stunning. To my surprise, Cho had difficulty communicating with the bus driver as she spoke Mandarin and the bus driver spoke Cantonese. It was difficult but not impossible for Cho to speak to him. I got very ill in Shanghai, and Cho went to the local pharmacy to get me some medicine. I was able to get a bit better over time, but I now wanted to eat food that I was familiar with, so I had Cho join me in the Pizza Hut. I felt ashamed as there was so many Chinese Food options and yet I coerced my friend to eat pizza! We stayed in Shanghai for roughly a week before we boarded a train back to Beijing. I flew back to Nagoya.
