We made some friends with some vacationers from Xi'an. I only remember their English names (I'm sorry) so will now refer to them as Vickie and Amy. We met them and ate lunch together on Thursday. Vickie (the short one) came with us to the Shanghai museum and the three of us strolled through thousands of years of bronze casting and calligraphy. They also had an exhibit on Greek art installed for the Olympics. That night we saw a performance by some traditional Chinese acrobats featuring such time-honored acts as driving motorcycles around in a giant hamster ball and dancing to the theme song from Titanic. My hat goes off to the announce as well, her dress was stunning and while we often weren't sure if she was speaking Chinese or English, she presented with such confidence that we didn't really care.
