Elizabeth's Transportation Field Trip

Elizabeth's class was studying transportation. The kids studied maps of Shanghai and all the different methods that could be used to get around. The teachers set up field trips to coincide with these lessons.

First we took a bus to the Pudong airport. There we boarded the Maglev train (it was really fast) and took that to the Longyang Metro Station where we hopped on line 2. From there, we took Line 2 to the Shanghai Science and Technology museum. Here the kindergarteners and their parents were able to walk around outside for a bit and have a snack. We got back on a bus and took it to Puxi to People's Square and had a look around. We got back on the bus and took it to the ferry near YuYuan Garden. I think the ferry was the kid's favorite. This costs .5 yuan (7cents) to get from Puxi to Pudong or vice versa. Bikes, pedestrians can take this. From here we walked down to the riverside promenade and had lunch. We had a really good time. The last picture is of Elizabeth and her teacher Mrs. McKeough.
