So You Thought You Were in Shanghai

Oops...I've been informed that the pictures from yesterday are not Shanghai, but in fact are still of Hong Kong. Rats. I guess that is the risk one takes when one tries to comment on pictures they did not take and were not there when they were taken. Sorry about that. Below are pictures from Shanghai. My sincerest apologies.

Now, before we move on to Tokyo, I must first comment on how weird it is to spend July 4th in another country. No fireworks, no cook-outs, no parades. Just another cold (still getting used to cold days in July), rainy day in July. So in honor of Independence Day, we have worn our red, white, and blue, Phil has challenged Robin from work (a Brit) to a re-enactment of a Revolutionary War battle at 4:30 pm in the office, and we're having hot dogs, Doritoes, strawberries, and potato salad (which I just remembered that I did not remember putting in the fridge last night after grocery shopping. Just found it on the floor of the jeep. Perhaps we will be skipping the potato salad.) for dinner.

Moving on...I give you Phil and I on our monorail ride to Tokyo Disneyland. Check out the mouse shaped windows and thingys that you hold on to when you have to stand. (cannot remember the word.)

Next we see the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland. Notice the crowds. Also notice the 25 sign. Apparently it was the 25th Anniversary of Tokyo Disney that they were celebrating all year. The big steel and glass structure behind the entrance was over the entire Main Street USA street of shops and restaurants. And behind that...

The castle. And the crowds.

And look...it's Phil eating a churro!

More tomorrow from Tokyo Disneyland.
