Yu Yuan Gardens

Spent a nice morning browsing in Yu Yuan gardens in Shanghai - very touristy but nice architecture too. I did the most fun bargaining ever - the guy I was bartering with found the situation hilarious and laughed heartily every time I repeated my first price. I easily won and he seemed rather sorry it had all stopped.

Also I'm pretty sure two girls tried to scout me out for a scam where they would befriend me, suggest a visit to a teahouse, drink lots of tea, leave me to foot the extortionate bill, then split the money after I'd gone. They were very friendly right up until the moment I said I lived in China.
