Tuesday

The weather was hot and hazy. I headed for the Bund for a walk, the breeze was nice and the walk pleasant.

The Bund:

Is an area on the Huangpu river. The Bund usually refers to the buildings and wharves on this section of the road, as well as some adjacent areas.

The word "Bund" means an embankment or an embanked quay, and comes from the Urdu word band, meaning an embankment, levee or dam (a cognate of English terms, bind and band, German term, bund, etc.).












After strolling up and down the bund, I walked up Nanjing Road (a pedestrian shopping area). It was an interesting walk, a lot of shops/boutiques etc but none of the luxury stores, souvenir places nor the fake shops. Still had a few people soliciting. I had some students talk to me and this time it wasn't about practising english, they wanted me to know go see their art exhibition.







The road lead to People's square and people's park. I took a stroll around the park, hopped into a cab and headed back to the neighborhood for a break and lunch.





We went to sushi for dinner and had a walked a bit along Fuxing Road - interesting architecture and boutiques.
