This past weekend,  I watched a movie,  it is a Chinese comedy. I also went to a furniture store with my husband and bought two chairs. After we finished, we went to qibao old street to eat sweet rice dumplings because that place is very famous in Shanghai. We wanted to have dinner there at a place called Shanghai Classic Hotel but when we arrived/got there, we found that many people were already waiting in line.  I didn’t want to wait in line so we just drove back home.  [I felt that the food was just so-so, but my husband liked it.
