My visit to Shanghai late last year was great. I was swarmed with work that I just couldn’t find the time to update my blog. Most of the things that I planned to write had been erased from my memory (now that it’s a whole new year, I just wanna make sure that my brain is not clogged with old stuff).
Anyway, it was fun and the scenery was beautiful. We went to 3 cities, Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou. I discovered that they still maintain their old way of living, i.e. riding old bicycles in town, wearing big straw hats with frill skirts and blousse…. I felt like I’m going back in time… back to hundreds of years ago… and they still travel via their famous canals…. It was an interesting trip.
The pictures will tell all…..

Shopping in Shanghai will drive you nuts!
It's very RARE to find the people in China to communicate in English so communication was the main problem. One night, my friend was looking for panadols & tried to explain through sign language but still she couldn't get the message across. She exhausted all efforts & finally, she pretended to faint and open her mouth with fingers pointing to her mouth to show that she needed medication.... but the pharmacist laughed so hard at her and walk away.... heehee. We eventually laughed at her too...BIG TIME... hehehe
