I guess some of you already know this from my cycling videos.<\/p>\n<p>Last Sunday, I met two of my classmates near the Bund, which is just on the other side of the river.<\/p>\n<p>I arrived at the appointed restaurant by subway because it&#8217;s the most reliable way in Shanghai. As I said goodbye to my classmates, I remembered that \u00a0I could ride a ferry to the wharf near my home, which was the shortest route back. Usually, I wouldn&#8217;t choose the ferries because they are always crowded with tourists.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>That Sunday, I was so relaxed that I told myself, &#8220;Just be a tourist.&#8221; Then I took the ferry for 2 yuan.<\/p>\n<p>It was as fun as I remembered.<\/p>\n<p>I recorded a video before I boarded the boat and while I was on it. You can watch it here.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the video, you can hear a voice from a little girl saying &#8220;bye-bye&#8221; to the people on the wharf. I didn&#8217;t know her.
