For breakfast, I had leftover sweet rice-ball soup.

I know there are many shops in Shanghai selling steamed buns filled with
things, but they tend to be hard-to-find holes-in-the-wall. The only
ones I knew of were in the vicinity of my apartment. I was excited I
found this one in a different, higher class part of town, I took a
picture of the menu and bought some food.
Later, I spotted more
shops. Perhaps they're easier to spot in this part of town?
| My lunch: a spicy pork bun, a bok choy and tofu bun, and bread stuffed
with greens. The last was oily from the filling; the bread itself
didn't taste fried (though it likely was). I also ate a bun (not
pictured) of (I think) dried vegetable and meat in plum sauce.

| A large, pretty embroidery in the Shanghai Arts & Crafts Museum.
| The label for the embroidery. It's for sale, for about 19 thousand US dollars.
| An incredibly detailed woodcarving: Storm on May 30. Can you
imagine how he removed the wood behind the legs?

Down From Heaven.

| More of the same, this time of fish, birds, and flowers. I can't
imagine carving the inside of those balls and fish.

| Song Qingling's Former Residence has a nice, manicured lawn in back,
good for parties.
| The path leading to the lawn. I like the camphor trees following the
walkway.
