We’ve had a great time in Shanghai and at the World Expo. Now it’s time to move on. We fly to Beijing this weekend. So it’s time to say goodbye to Shanghai. We’ll miss our pastries at the Sharing Commune coffee shop, our favorite restaurants and the HKBU students and their faculty members, especially Huang Yu.

Most of all, we’ll miss Dan Cooper. He’s the Ball State grad student on the trip. And he’s on his way back to Indy. We can thank him for all of the great work behind the scenes of this blog and interactive pieces such as the silk story. Dan, we’ll miss you… but we’ll see you in a month. And Skype us along the way while drinking a Margarita at Puerto Vallarta in Muncie!

Dan Cooper and Suzy Smith enjoy the sights of Shanghai
