Staycation fun for Chinese New Year!

It was a gorgeous day in Shanghai today, with temperatures around 20 degrees and lots of sunshine - a perfect day to get on our bikes and cycle downtown, hop on the ferry to cross the Huangpu River and explore a bit of the Puxi side on 2 wheels. The crowds around Yuyuan Gardens were absolutely crazy because of the Chinese New Year holiday and there were big groups of policemen keeping the river of pedestrians flowing at crosswalks. Getting through with our bikes was an adventure! We made it to Tock's Montreal Deli only to find they were closed (must go back later in the week) and decided on pizza at The Press instead. Along the way there and back we discovered some interesting things... We love this city! Now, if only the temperatures weren't dipping back to normal levels tomorrow (5-10 degrees). The chicken sprouts we bought along the way will keep our spirits up, though: the Year of the Rooster has started well!
