Shanghai is big

The Naks are explorers and we have walked well over 50 miles, taken taxis for another 50 and trains for another 50, yet we have hardly scratched the surface of this gigantic metropolis. It's amazing to see how new and old can often come together and, while we appreciate the history of the old, we are also grateful for the English subtexts of the new.  

Shanghai Library 

The girls have been pretty awesome and find fun stuff to do on most trips. In particular, the girls seem pleased whenever we find a mall (which are plentiful) and every one is massive, looks pretty, and smells great (fun fact). We enjoyed exploring part of the French Concession and the Shanghai library recently and were kindly welcomed into a church referred to us by Ben's cousin Lara. As school starts our exploring may be taken a notch down, but we're determined to keep expanding our horizons.
