been two weeks since i'm back from shanghai and i'm missing it already.
i don't miss the uncouth people and the street urchins who kept harassing me though.
imagine them tapping on your shoulders and thrusting their hands right up to your face.
i encounter beggars every single day and some of them really ruin my day.
back to my trip . the second day we head over to shanghai happy valley .
we went to the happy valley in beijing 5 years back but it was winter and most of the rides ceased operations. tickets are a bit pricey at 200RMB (~40SGD) but we had a good time.
they had a lot of thrilling rides to offer and we barely had to queue for rides :)
when drunkard meets drunkard under the broad daylight..
It took us slightly less than 1.5 hours to head over from East Nanjing to Happy Valley.
Take subway line 9 to Sheshan station , cross over the bridge and take the orange shuttle bus.
When we were alighted at the station, there were alot of sellers trying to sell us plastic raincoats at 1RMB. (~$0.20) we didn't buy because it was so overwhelming with so many of them thrusting the packets of raincoats at us. we ended up getting raincoats at Happy Valley at 5RMB which was still very cheap. i figured vannie would be like " you can save 4RMB leh" hahahaha.
left happy valley to meet yifang at east nanjing commercial street for steamboat :)
shanghai has quite a few famous hotpot chains like haidilao and dollar shop .
we decided to try dollar shop since it's near my hotel and look at the amount we ordered.
all these for only 60SGD in total. did i mention that the service was impeccable ?
totally wish i could send some food over to my babes in singapore!!
rachel my baby lion seriously needs to put on some weight so she won't fly away.
after dinner we walked down to the bund area to enjoy the night view.
it was rather hazy that night which explains the mediocre standard of the picture.
headed over to starbucks which just down the street to catch up and chill over frappuccino.
something that i've always wanted to do with lyla yang in singapore.
shanghai third day
first stop at shanghai science and technology museum .
it was 100RMB per entrance and we thought it had a lot to offer :)
& i really like how shanghai's attractions are located near one another so there's minimal travelling.
S&T museum is just right outside science and technology station exit 7/8
dramatic boyfriend.
robot playing the piano while a little boy was singing on the stage !
there were a lot of amazing robots. some can play chess / riversi with you and draw a portrait of you.
i totally need one robot to cook for me.
then it was dinner with sucheng at the some chinese restaurant at east nanjing again !
love the pork ribs so much i wish i could go back for more.
part of the reason why i feel so safe at shanghai is because of my friends who are there.
thank you for the meal sucheng :>
& that's it for day two and three.
it's monday and mine started off on a good note with yoga. hope yours did too. ^^
