Corrections
Original:
The last three days two of my best friends came to visit me from Beijing, we had a tourist around Shanghai. I was not a great guide, since I was not outgoing in my four months Shanghai life. Fortunately, Shanghai is a amazing city full of treasure, and my friends are both kind of good travelers and foodies. So the traveling was relaxed, we found that the street local food as delicious as the restaurant.

These last three days, two of my best friends came to visit me from Beijing, so we had a tour around Shanghai. I was not a great guide, since I have not been very active in my four-month Shanghai life. Fortunately, Shanghai is an amazing city, full of treasure, and my friends are both kind of good travelers and foodies. Their visit was very relaxing and we found that the local street food is just as delicious as the food from local restaurants.
