We haven't had a public holiday since New Year's Day so we almost forgot that today was Labor Day back home. (I suppose there was Dragon Boat Festival, but I still had class and Mike was on business travel the day after.) What end-of-summer activities are you partaking in? We'll celebrate with those of you having BBQ by going to Bubba's. Yes, there's (decent) BBQ in Shanghai, Texas-style.
Saturday, we went for a long bike ride to Pudong, using the ferry to get across the river. Although routes are flat and bike lanes do exist, maneuvering around the city isn't terribly easy when sharing the road with cars and buses, pedestrians and motorcyclists. But, thanks to Mike's navigation, we reached areas with wide open streets, in a part of town that had seemingly been deserted, with one abandoned building after another (Shanghai post-World Expo 2010). And with the weather finally cooling down, the ride was a ton of fun. We topped off the day with dinner (for less than $35 total) and bowling (yes, there's bowling!) with friends.
