a walk in my stilettos

woke up early :) breakfast at the hotel was really.. can be improved upon!

visited the shanghai urban development center and the pearl today :)

the development center trip was mainly educational, its purpose is to show visitors the changes that shanghai has undergone and who plays important roles in making sure that their plans take flight. the place was really very pretty and we had a splashing good time taking pictures around the place. however, or of course, we still learnt a great deal about the place.

lunch was at second-floor. the food there is.. really yummylicious. on the way to the restaurant we saw people selling food the very original way, everything placed on the table, you want what just take, many big wooden pots of rice- uhm, just those you’ll see on television in old soap operas :P

you get the picture actually :)

there’s nothing much about eating xiao long baos eh? we get to eat it anyway even in singapore, in packets, just steam them for abit and tada! there you have it. but eating it in shanghai is another kind of really great feeling. hee. i don’t know how to place my fingers on it but it sure tastes better than packed ones.  ok the chicken that you’re drooling over now.. sorry to be a wet blanket! but it really isn’t as tasty as it looks la :D just average, those that you can buy in chicken rice packets back here. hee.

anyway, after lunch we went over to the purrr. that’s a pearl. haha. it’s quite a shanghai landmark, if you still dont know by now. uh-huh, it’s a very magnificent building. it was quite a pity cus the air pollution level was very very bad, hence we couldnt see much when we went up the building. greatest experience though :)

it was byebye to the purr after a while, and we were given time to.. to wha..

SHOPPING!

hohoho. it was at a Zhengda Shopping Complex. the feeling rocks when the currency doesnt seem to finish anyhow. LOL, im rather serious ok! we grabbed like one full trolley of things and it cost us like.. SGD15? uh. haha, then we went for dinner at a super quiet restaurant.. we almost ‘invaded’ the whole place la hahaha! it was super empty, and we were making a lot of noise.. after that was the most exciting boat ride down wai tan :)

day3 is shangwen day1! .:WOOHOO:. top off this post with a very justified picture of that place! :) nothing like success at first take, so this was like, many many times. anyway, look closely and you see a lightning rod on top of the pearl :P

more soon!  :)
