Tour of Shanghai 2

    Our walk along Duolun Road continues...

Inside this shop that sold decorative rocks and other curios, the proprietress latched onto both of us. Here she is with Li Jin.

A view of the inner shop.

More of the little shops along Duolun Road.

The outside of a store that sold beautiful things made from ebony.

Another little alley along Duolun Road.

Here is a guy who made quick statues of people. He wanted to do me, but I didn't want to lug such a big, heavy thing back home.

This is the former church where the statue-making guy had his shop.

We ran into these elderly ladies sitting on a park bench next to a statue of a write who used to live in the neighborhood. The lady in the center regaled us with stories of her five children, all of whom have become very successful in life.

The ladies liked Li Jin very much, and talked with her eagerly.
