It has been a week since I returned from a 10-day Shanghai trip with my mum. My dad is still in China for his businesses, and will be back tomorrow. Overall it is fun although I think I went at the wrong time lo. Summer weather there was quite unbearable, but lucky the winds helped to alleviate the heat a bit. Secondly, it was summer vacation for the kids!! My gosh, everywhere was so so crowded until you won't want to move anywhere...Plus the people not very civilized, PUSH PUSH and PUSH, my parents kana pushed dunno how many times, and those people there also double standards for the ang mors, they are really $$##@@!!###, damn RUDE!
But other than that, I truly enjoyed the stay, as the night lights of the Shanghai city was simply gorgeous. Think it is one of the top 3 cities in the world, indeed, it is comparable to the Big Apple! But the crowds and the behavior of the people made this gorgeous city a little less than ideal to live in, not to mention the dirty toilets! *puke* Lucky Shanghai still had a big redeeming quality -the ultra delicious food! Cannot forget the food we have eaten in Shanghai, I am willing to go there again just for the food! haha... the most memorable meals are the "congee" seafood hotpot, and the "xiang1 cai4" near our apartment. The regular shampooing of our hair at the nearby salons, and the full body and foot massages are another motivation for me to go again the next time. Simply relaxing~~ Have not been to such a relaxing trip for a long long time, where I can sleep late every morning and go for massage every alternate day. Shiok! =D
When my dad was not working during the weekend, we also went to Zhou Zhuang, a 900-year historic water town, macham live from the Hong Kong kung fu dramas man...a very nice place to take pictures... We visited Suzhou on Sunday, where we joined a guided tour. Not too bad as we went to visit Liu Garden and the Tiger Hill, the oriental version of the leaning tower. Haha, of cuz no fight for the one in Pisa, as the latter was taller and had a bigger lean. Moreover, not as crowded -_-"
Next visit to Shanghai will be with Cha le, my parents kept urging him to come along before they are willing to take me to Nanking, since they dun want to make repeated trips. Anyway, the food, the massages and the city nite views are enticing enuf for me to make a second trip there! This time hopefully in the fall when it is not so hot and when EVERYONE is schooling..haha!
Anyway, have been sending out my resumes like mad, hopefully, there is good news soon!
