Day 3 - Leaving Shanghai

Day 3 in Shanghai was shopping filled which is a little surprising since I'm really not THAT interested. However, Kathryn convinced me (and she can be very convincing) that I could stock up on Christmas and birthday gifts for the next year. So the question was: One day of shopping or multiple trips throughout the year? Easy answer: Let's shop! With a day of successful shopping behind us, Kathryn and Liam escorted me to the train station. It was a little sad saying goodbye and the train station was absolutely chaos BUT I was very excited about my two-day train-ride adventure to Tibet. I waited until the last minute to board the train since the Chinese are not that interested in standing in lines. I took one last look at the city before descending the escalator to the crowd below. Ohio Connection #1: For breakfast, we stopped at a cafe near Kathryn's office. As we entered, one of the guys noticed my Ohio shirt and shouted, "O-H!" and of course I responded, "I-O! Go Bucks!" We Buckeyes are everywhere!
