Day 1 in China: Shanghai

My mom and I stayed in Shanghai for a night before a transfer flight. Her cousins and aunts live there in a bit more countryside area I think? Or at least not super in the heart of this city as they have a house instead of at apartment and have land for garden. I don't know what the relationship titles are for each relative ๐Ÿ™€ 

Anyway, my mom's older cousin picked us up from our hotel and we visited their house and my grandfather's old house, which has collapsed. There were quite a few cats and dogs!

There's this shy and curious dog who would follow us a bit but hide if we turned around. Also didn't stray too far from its home. I wish I could have pet it! Seems so sweet. 



The stray cats also kept their distance but didn't run away entirely. Also I'm not sure if all of them were even stray or just owned by neighbors. 

 We had a big family dinner at a restaurant!  I don't remember who anybody is, how they are related to me, or what their names are except the niece (??) I added on WeChat. She likes jirai-kei~

It was a lot of food!!




They also prepared a cake?? ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ˜น


It layered too many flavors so everything mixed together for me. 


If I recall, there's taro, Oreo, pudding, fruit of some kind???? In a crepe cake ๐ŸŽ‚

It was nice, even if I don't remember anybody ๐Ÿ˜น
