Today, Chris and I
celebrated Easter in Shanghai.
The majority of Chinese
citizens are Atheists, Taoists, or Buddhists so Sunday felt like business as
usual in the city. I have to admit the absence of egg hunts, Easter bunnies, and folks dressed in their Easter
finest was strange and sad.
Luckily we were able to find
an English mass at St. Ignatius Cathedral in downtown Shanghai. My spirits instantly lifted once I heard
familiar hymns and saw that the place was packed.

The cathedral's interior was a beautiful mix of Eastern and Western cultures. |
After mass, we went to brunch
and engaged in a little retail exploration.
Guess what I found…
I was so happy to locate a bit of girl heaven! |
Now if I could get past this
thing called jet lag…
Tomorrow… House Hunters
Shanghai!
