Shanghai ...... Part II ( 19 - 24 June)

Did not do much on Monday. Stayed in apartment .... relaxed....









Went to nearby Yaohan to take a look. .... a stretch of shopping complexes. Met up with Xiao Fei and then back to apartment.



Went out with Richard and Xiao Fei for dinner. went to Wu Jiang Road which was the Food Street. Basically it was just a street with shops selling grilled/barbecue stuff. Decided to go somewhere else for dinner. Walked aimlessly for a while before decided on a Sichuan restaurant. The food was rather good.... especially the basin of chili and pepper/chili oil (catfish dish)! They enjoyed the '口水鸡' dish (steam chicken with lots of chili oil) very much! After dinner, we went over to XinTianDi (新天地) to take a look - lots of pubs & restaurants - like Boat Quay/Clarke Quay.




Another relaxed day on Tuesday. Went to the nearby Wal-mart (big supermarket near the apartment). Had breakfast at 好工夫 (Bruce Lee) restaurant...simple fare but delicious! Watched a couple of DVDs (that boring????? NO...it was rather relaxing...) before it was time to 'check out'. Met up with Richard for coffee before Louis came to pick me up.


Went over to Oliver's office to take a look. Was supposed to have dinner with Richard and guests but had to cancel. Ended up having dinner with Oliver (n staff) and Jennifer. Dinner was at a Japanese restaurant. Eat all you want at RMB150.... drinks included! Such a good deal!
Then, it was time to go to the airport. Check in was rather speedy. Lots of people on this midnight flight. Shops at this airport look rather miserable. Hardly see anyone shop. The staff were not very service oriented as well... Anyway, soon....home sweet home.Arrived at about 5am this morning..... the flight was smooth..... glad to be back.... need to rest....recharge......
