Finally settled down to blog..hahaa..okay not really settled down but im actually in the mood to blog now...
japan will be a super long entry..or i'll prolly split it into diff entries which will take some time..
so meanwhile i'll update u guys bout what i've done the past few days after returning from Japan!
Day 1:
Went over to the law peeps' place to return the backpacks that we borrowed from them for the trip..took a bus there and that made khai and i both really miss japan alot!
The bus trip totally brought us back to reality that we are back in China..land full of noise and smell pollution!
Inconsiderate and loud people..pls start learning from your jap comrades what's a 文明社会.
Had a really great dinner - 小龙虾大餐!
Its really delicious. The different ways of cooking this fingers sucking 龙虾. Everyway was fantabulous!
Anyway, i think china is really an enterprising country.
Every season that pass, different kinds of food or products will be seen popping up at every corner of the streets.
During winter times, we see 火锅 everywhere. Now that weather gets hotter, 刨冰 and the 小龙虾 is sold everywhere.
Its amazing what the chinese people do to make a living..how versatile they are. One moment their little stall can be selling 麻辣锅, the next moment you see them with a different signboard selling 刨冰.
Day 2:
Buffet Ktv!!
We had buffet ktv at partyworld, the most upclass ktv place ever in China.
The whole partyworld just feels like a 6 star hotel when u enter the place.
And the thing that deserves to be praised the most is there's finally toilet papers in their toilets!
You will be as impressed with it as me if u've been in China long enough to know that every single toilet you go to has a lack of toilet papers and we always have to carry tissue papers along in our bags all the time.
Day 3:
Visit to 田子坊 with Rebecca!
This is a really artsy place where art pieces and intricate pieces of works are sold and exhibited.
Its a really fresh place to be in as compared to the noisy dirty streets of Shanghai.
The surroundings surprisingly has a mixture European feel and old Shanghai street feel.
The shops there are uniquely designed and the things they sell are more sophisticated.
But Shanghai is a place full of contradictions.
A turn out from this street, we are pushed back to reality - the noisy polluted land.
Vegetarian buffet!
Its simply heavenly to eat healthy and yet the dishes look so delicious!!
You will never believe these are vegetarian food..so nicely done!
Day 4:
Time alone in the room.
Its nice spending time alone in the room sometimes. Spending some solo time with myself, doing my things the way i please. Just feels so satisfying! =)
Finished up my translation assignment, listened to some new songs, read a book.
Anyway just in case you guys are thinking im starting to dislike Shanghai cos i've been saying all the bad things about it..hahaha..its not really the case.
I think its just the after effects of returning from a clean civilised country like Japan, the dirty noisy part of this city becomes magnified.
Shanghai still has its interesting sides.
