After lunch, students attended classes with their buddies and spent some time on the sports field playing badminton, basketball, volleyball, and tug-of-war with the girls. The Darien kids continue to comment on the focus and intensity of the classes. The day began at 7:40 and school "ends" at 4:30, though many of the Shanghai girls remain at school for tutoring, music lessons, or drama.
Last night, our guides told us that the true face of Shanghai is at night. While we are still a bit jet-lagged from the flight, we are all hoping to enjoy more of this beautiful city with its bright lights and welcoming people before another day of school tomorrow.
