Day 10 – Walk around the neighbourhood
By Dad on Sep 12, 2017 in Shanghai, China (2017) |
Not much happening today (so far) with the girls, they had a normal start to the day and had to be on the bus for 9AM. Last I heard, done around 5PM. We may head out to one of the historic areas, but I do have to be back for 11PM meeting.
I should mention first, mom did a great job finding a place, here is a quick map showing the walk between me and the girls, only 10 minutes (750m)
Mom asked me for some pictures of the neighbourhood – so here we go.
-
-
As soon as you come out of laneway, this is the main street.
-
-
This is the laneway my window faces. My window is above the roofline here.
-
-
Here is a picture of the dairy/produce/bread aisle at the store across the street
-
-
Everywhere you go there are mom and pop shops selling specific wares.
-
-
This little store is dedicated 100% to yarn.
-
-
There is always construction, here they use bamboo for scaffolding
-
-
This is the neat ice cream store I plan to take the girls – it is PACKED on the weekends
-
-
Bike rentals everywhere, you can’t go more than 5ft without a bike to rent
-
-
And scouters, so many scooters
-
-
Here is me taking out money at the local bank
-
-
A flower store around the corner
-
-
An antique store around the corner
-
-
This is the bridge over the main road that the girls always take (I prefer crossing at the lights)
-
-
This is looking down from the bridge, the girls apartment is the farthest pink (floor 24) on the right

The treat I picked up for walking around (I saved some for the girls too)
