The influence of the Western culture is seen in the buildings along the Bund. The buildings reminded me of looking at Chicago’s lakefront. The visits to the homes in the apartments were good. We met a woman who had one son, a husband and a senior citizen, probably her mom. We asked many questions about her life. She has a small room about 900 square feet. They lived on the bottom floor of the apartment building we were in. Her husband is a taxi driver, so he was not there. Her son was at school then, so we could not talk to him. She was really nice and friendly. She also told us about her life. It was very interesting to hear. We then went to the market. That wa
s exactly what I was looking for, when we arrived in China. Tonight we went and saw an Acrobatic Show. It was not all acrobatics though. They had magic, bike riding, plate spinning, rope spinning, chair balancing, body balancing, hat juggling, and umbrella spinning. It was all very impressive and I loved it. They must have practiced for such a long time to get every thing perfect.
