Exploring Shanghai has been an adventure so far. Learning their Metro system, our Bart, has been a struggle. People here do not follow the rules and pushing and shoving is normal. A couple times during rush hour, I literally had to bum rush my way out. I felt bad in the beginning but now I am getting used to it. Cars have the right of way here and red lights do not mean anything. There are bikes and mopeds everywhere and they also have the right of way. So if you decide to be nice and let everyone go, you will be standing there for the whole day.
I expected more from their food. I had oily food the whole time on my tour and was hoping to get away from it. The food here is just as oily and salty. If you are on a tight budget, you can definitely find cheap foods anywhere. I am still in search for a simple cobb salad. I think I need to head towards the western part of town. I did manage to find Subway sandwiches but their six inch cost just as much as our footlong. Even though it is the same sandwich, the veggies are not quite the same. Fast food restaurants like KFC and McDonalds are spreading like wildfire. We will see the popularity of obesity in this country in a couple years.
