Rain & alley streets

Kui mõnus saab üks vihmane laupäev olla, kui esimest korda üle pika aja ei möödu see õppides? 
Plaan oli minna MoCA'sse Yayoi Kusama näitusele, kuid pealelõunasel ajal avanes meile taaskord jõle pikk saba muuseumi ukse ees.... seega piirdusime jalutuskäiguga Nanjingil tänaval, Shanghai First Food Store'is ja suvalistel kõrvaltänavatel. Nende spontaansette uitamistega avaldub Shanghai tõeline pale, kohalikud kombed ja traditsioonid domineerivad alati ja kogu läänest imporditud klants ja sära kaotavad neil kõrvaltänavatel tähtsuse.

How nice can a rainy Saturday be when it's entirely spent for studying?
Had this plan to visit the Yayoi Kusama's exhibition in MoCA, but the line in front of the museum entrance was sooooo long ... we decided to just have a walk instead. Nanjing Road, Shanghai First Food Store and random alleys. While taking these spontaneous trips, one really sees the true face of Shanghai. How the local customs and traditions always dominate over the imported Western influences and how the latter really loose any sort of significance among these streets.

A present
A female shopper told us, that people actually give this as a present for Chinese New Year. I don't know if she was having her fun joking to a couple of laowais or whether she was serious... Interesting thing anyway.
Chocolte?
A true souvenir from China MUST have a typo.
