Playing in Pudong

This past Sunday, Mike and I ventured across the Huangpu River via subway to Pudong (literally translated, "east bank"), home to the buildings that create the city's famous skyline.

Our first stop was the infamous underground mall of counterfeit items. Ignoring the "lady, you want bag?" pleas, I marveled at the Jimmy Choo purses and Longchamp totes, the Chrristian (yes, spelled with two Rs) Louboutin heels and Tory Burch flats, the iPods and the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. We even saw a plethora of TOMS Shoes (doesn't that defeat their purpose?).    

                                             

                                                       Yes, even "official" jerseys

Guess what fakes I bought?

We then made our way to the Science and Tech. Museum, essentially a very large children's museum, where Mike, of course, let his not-so-inner kid out.  

Mike becomes a character in his own video game.

Notice that all other adults are helping their children.
