Muahaha... Back! back! Fish is back!! :D Despite of strong objections from my whole family & most of my friends due to the snowstorm disaster in China, sturbborn fish still swam all the way to Shanghai.
What a disappointed was... where's the snow? Snowing already stopped just 1 day before i arrived.. Sob sob. :"( Weather was good, & as i got used to the weather after 2 days, i started to wear lesser & lesser. In the end only the jacket & 1 long sleeve shirt inside. :D
How's the impression? Hmm... sorry to say, air pollution was horrible. Everyday i went back & wiped my face.. Gosh!! my tissue black black!! I also didn't really appreciate the food there. End up i only took local dishes on first day, the remaining 1 whole week i was taking japanese, korean & western food.
Had my hair rebonded there. Through the hair dresser, i was surprised that watching movie is absolutely a luxury activities (well, at least to me). They don't have standard price for all movies. Latest movies will be around RMB 100 (equivalent S$ 20) and old movies will be around RMB 35 (S$7). They only buy pirated DVD which only RMB5 (S$1). What a big difference!! It really hard for people to burn their pocket to support original production.
Anyone likes fireworks? Please spend your Chinese New Year in China. No more squeezing at crowded spot, just to wait for the precious 10 minutes fireworks. Fireworks were everywhere. I had watched fireworks the whole week. All you need to do is looking at the sky... they just sparkling from all directions. But.. but... stop stop!! tooooo much!!! I could hear the noise of firework and fire cracker even when i slept, especially on 5th day of Chinese New Year they were welcoming "Prosperity God".... Through out the whole night until early morning 5am...
Heard before Shanghai has latest fashion.. hmm... gotta shop a bit. There are few underground "fake market" and you have to bargain all the way. I am really poor at bargaining stuff and my friend had to bargain for me through the whole process. Thanks a lot!! :P Another day i decide to go those "proper" shopping centre where no bargain needed, all fixed price. Once i stepped into the shopping mall, i almost fainted. So smelly~~ Especially in winter, the heater was on in shopping mall and with such big crowd sqeezing their way. Within half an hour, i already retreat myself and went back with empty hands. What i bought for the whole trip? Nothing, only some local tibits for office colleagues, 2 long sleeves & 1 jeans. Oh.. & 1 luaggage bag. That's all.
Oh.. you won't want to miss the sceneries that. There is a famous garden "Yu Garden", which near theCheng Huang Temple. Once you are in, you will think you are in those kungfu times. Haha.a.. old China buildings. Another one will be the "DongFang MingZhu" (Oriental Pearl building), gotta go there at night & take a good view of Shanghai night. If looking for some chilled out places, don't miss to go XinTianDi in Puxi.
