Thanks, everyone for all your comments! So much fun to share!

Masaki, we ate at the restaurant at Yu Gardens that is actually a regular restaurant. It had the little dumplings that you can get at the 'take out' part, and a lot of other items, including the soup dumplings. The little take out window, which is kind of around the corner from the entrance to the main restaurant, had a looong line. We went there the second day, waited only about 15 minutes...Delicious!!!!

Kristin and Karen, yes, the views from our hotel in Shanghai were awesome! Our suite was on the 46th floor....I truly felt like we were in the clouds! In the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you that the views from our suite at the Peninsula were significantly less than spectacular. In other words, 'interesting' at best. Actually, we overlooked a pretty ugly apartment building, but it was kind of fun watching some of the people coming and going. I think the Peninsula is only 14 stories...and we were on 8.
