HAHAHAHA oh my goodness, today i was even more of a daredevil than ever before! so all over the city, almost as popular as taxi's, there's guys on scooters and/or motorcycles you can pay to take you around, just like a taxi, except you're on the back of a bike. so...analee and i were on our way back to her house from the fake market (where i got an excellent "coach" bag and wallet for an excellent price). it's only about a 5 minute ride and there wasn't a taxi right there, so we just decided we'd go for it. we each hopped on the back of the bikes and held on! i don't want to go into detail again about the poor traffic skills and complete chaos that is the streets of shanghai because i don't want to scare anyone, but it was interesting. nothing too dramatic happened and we arrived safely. and we only paid 7 RMB, which is about one dollar. sweet. it was so fun!
