This is my toenails JUST before I left for China.
Yes I just came back from a 8 day trip in China. It's been like 6 days since I got back but I've only edited like day 1 and 2 of the photos.
Been super busy.
WARNING : 18 sets of photos here!!! And these are only from DAY 1 and 2!!!! Cries. I'm still editing the rest ... *faints*.
Day 1 starts off at midnight at the airport ...
8th April 2006 - 0000hours.
Our plane takes off at 2am ... SIAN!
Waiting for our plane is so boring.
8th April 2006, 0800hours
After 5 hours on the plane sleeping, YES SHANGHAI!!! We're HERE!!!
There's really all sorts of people here.
Hubby doesn't believe me but beside us in another queue I DISTINCTLY heard a chinese little boy speaking French (or maybe German or Dutch or Espaniol, not sure). Told hubby but everytime hubby listened, the boy spoke CHINESE!!! WHAT THE ********! And everytime he didn't listen, and I took note, the boy was speaking ANOTHER language. DAMN!!!!
Yah lah I know I ACTING cute there. Hehehe. I like leh!
Sitting the Magnetic Train.
This is a f-ing FAST train. Faster than bullet train. It got to our destination (distance approx-ly 30km) in only 7 freaking minutes!!!
It was able to hit the speed of 430 km/h. Comparable to aeroplane liao leh! I wonder how would my face be like if I put my head out the window like a dog would HAHAHA.
AT LAST after 2 hours sitting on the bus getting butt and leg cramps, we've arrived at City God Temple.
First of all, I do not see any temple, but I know they have one there. What I see mostly are lots of stalls selling souveniers, food and lots of snacks. And people ... the many many black haired heads of PEOPLE EVERYWHERE!
Being a stupid short girl, this is not good. Not much can be seen unless through short partings of people when they are walking by.
And PUSHING! Gosh I was being pushed everywhere I went! Not to mention the jackets that we brought were sooooo redundant. Hot sunlight + cool winds = PERFECT WEATHER!!!
Next stop Water Bound Town Xitang. Another hour bus ride. Sian. Why must everywhere be so far apart?!
Day 2
Wake up 630 to wash up. 7am breakfast. 8am we're off.
But before that we finished breakfast earlier, and took a little walk around our hotel. Got a few stuff plus a scrunchie, cause stupid me forgot to bring hair band to tie up my hair.
Here we are at Hanshan Temple.
What to say about this one ah. Er ... it's quite relaxing. I wanted to just sit down by one of the benches with a pot of hot green tea and getting inspiration from my surroundings. The flowers there were really pretty.
Our stop at the Silk Mill. Ya lah I know. Another place for us sucker tourists on tour groups to be suckered into parting with our money for overpriced items.
This is where we first slashed out credit card through a machine. This is not the actual print we bought but I'll take a picture when I FIRST USE IT next week.
Me : Dear the bill is RMB3840. We have enough cash but I still need it to buy my fake branded bags in Xiangyang, Shanghai.
Hubby : Okay. Charge it to my card. Wah ... we just spent S$700++ on BEDSHEETS. Hahaha!
At least we know we're getting quality goods for our buck. And when my fingers touched the smooth silk ... I cannot just leave there without buying anything.
Okay will continue another day. Head is exploding from aching. Me have to watch my tv now.
