Out the back door...


As rounded the far side of the university campus, an octagonal archway signaled the end of our little tour. Checking our watches it was time to head back so I took the opportunity for a photo. The airplane shown below was a WW2 fighter long-since retired, it now resides in a parking lot just outside of the university walls. Would've like to have sat in the cockpit just to get an idea of how it might have felt, oh the nostalgia bug biteth.


My fellow monk-to-be, Dyllan. Striking a pose in the aforementioned archway at the edge of the university grounds. 


A stroll through the local University...


During our morning exploration of the area around our hotel in Shanghai, we happened upon a local university campus and decided to investigate further. Lush gardens and winding walkways...

The team stopped in a few spots to capture monk-like poses for historical reasons.
