[The Prices Take Shanghai!] Aaron Kissed by Meredith Vieira of The Today Show...

[Aaron]

After we watched some of the NBC Today Show, we started chatting with a very nice woman who turned out to be Jill Drew, a Washington Post reporter who then interviewed us about our experience in China. Check out here work here:

After, we headed over to the huge fountain near the water cube. We didn't know it, but that's where the Today Show was to end the broadcast for the week. Rebecca and I were playing in the fountain with the American flag when they came over and during the final minute of the show Meredith Vieira held part of the flag and hugged and kissed me! It was hilarious! All spontaneous! Then we ran through the fountain holding the flag above our heads. It was a lot of fun. From what I've found online our "AaroN ReBecca China" sign (made with "N B C") made it into the broadcast several times as well. Here is a clip of the big moment and some other fun pics:
