OK, here is some context. I am a huge Disney fan and have almost love Disney and enjoy it as a hobby, as well as learning about it as a hyper fixation of mine. because of this, I of course, am familiar with Duffy and that little gang. people in the US parks have a little merch for him and we sell a little bit there, but that’s about it.

i spent yesterday at Shanghai Disneyland and I’m actually so shook and so confused about all of this merch and obsession over these characters. I would love some more information. Is this a cartoon show? Is it a movie? I’m so confused about the obsession. I’ve been trying to find some Mickey merch and stuff, but almost every single shop is all those other characters. i don’t understand 😭😭 I knew about the characters and understand that they are some little thing, but coming here, it’s actually wild how much is about those characters. is it a band? a series? something i don’t know about???? I DONT UNDERSTAND 😭😭😭😭😭😭

hi all! My good friend who is visiting is a Shanghai native and is pretty tired and is taking a rest day! We decided to split up and I feel very comfortable navigating the city a bit on my own (I don’t speak Chinese, but everyone has been very helpful and I feel safe here). he is getting a little massage in the hotel room because he’s sore, but I am very conditioned for tourist lifestyle so I’m good to go!

we have done a lot of really awesome things so far! I am looking for something to do today by myself. I plan on going to a café or park and sitting and enjoying the weather, writing in my travel, journal, and reading. These are things that I like to do on my own when I’m traveling, but I haven’t really planned on doing much since I knew I would be with him. I plan on going to a café for a bit later, but obviously I have some time!!

i was thinking about doing something in the meantime, and i’m looking for some ideas. i was planning to be in the People’s Park/Square area, but am open to other things!!

im looking for any new ideas for little activities!! here are things we’ve already done/plan to do!!

-Yu Garden

-Jade Buddha Temple

-Jing’an Temple

-Shanghai Museum

-checked out The Bund and Nanjing Rd.

-Huangpu River Cruise

-Shanghai Disney

-People’s Square

-Longhua Temple

anything other than this that someone may recommend, i’d love to hear!! thanks!!!

hi guys! I’m in Shanghai right now and it is a beautiful day and I want to enjoy the weather! I would like to sit on a patio with my friend and enjoy the scenery. We are downtown. however, every time I find a place that’s an outdoor patio. It’s always some fancy terrace that is super expensive. We do not have the money to keep spending on expensive things. We just want to chill for a bit. are there any nice spots that anyone knows of that are just patio places that we can sit and enjoy the weather that are not very expensive? Thank you so much!
