Here are some pictures from the French Quarter area. That's the upper floor of a French restaurant. It looked fancy.
There was a restaurant block and then two blocks of shopping. I found some really nice stuff at a store called
Shanghai Tang. Expensive, though. I didn't end up getting anything, but they have some branches in
Hong Kong that I might have to visit.
Nice little outdoor cafes.
We sat on the patio here and had a snack after our tour. This is kind of an expat/touristy area, so we didn't have too much of a language problem.
A pretty fountain. The three women stand for three virtues, but I've forgotten what they are. Prosperity was one. Happiness? Peace? We'll go with that. Our tour guide took a picture with both of us in front of the fountain, but it was so humid that the camera lens was totally fogged up and all soft-focus. Half of our pictures look like a Lifetime movie.
Gen enjoying his afternoon snack. We had spicy noodles, steamed BBQ pork buns, and some kind of shrimp dumpling. And of course,
Tsing Tao beer.
