Scavenging in Shanghai

Today's orientation highlight was a scavenger hunt. We ran all over town visitng museums and monuments while collecting various items (hot dogs, chicken feet, chinese babies). It was fun but incredibly exhausting- my feet were black at the end of the day. The hunt ended at Shanghai Financial Center, the third tallest skyscraper in the world. The building looks like a zipper/bottle opener and has an observation deck on top with a view of the surrounding buildings. Going up the 100 floors is a trippy experience: there's white walls, flashing colors, and british accented english surrounding you.
