(I'm not sure what happens when a peanut has been 'decorticated'...) 
(Although I'm not going to order it, I get Duck Jaws...but...'as closely linked as flesh and blood'??? And although the peanut above might not be happy, the beef here certainly is.) So, other than eating, we have been exploring Shanghai. Paul dragged me (again) out to the People's Garden yesterday...
Having to enjoy the sunshine...
Paul is loving it!
I went on a little adventure by myself today! I decided to have a look at the books at the Foreign Language Bookshop. In China everything is grouped together, so the whole street was full of bookshops. It was fantastic! I spent hours wandering through big shopping centres full of books and little tiny nooks on the street. The only english books were at the FL Bookstore, but I decided to find a book that I'll want to translate...and so I bought a book on tea! It's got history, traditions, ceremony, and then a bit about all the famous teas of China. I can understand some of it already.
My collection so far...Ginseng tea, Dragon Well tea, and Jasmine tea. A teapot/cup.
This is the view along the street.
This is in the part of the old French Concession. The streets are lined with trees and there are bakeries, and bookstores!
