when we arrived at Shanghai PuDong airport, we took a mini-bus to get to the hotel! omgoshhh I noticed that people in china drive like HELL!! they really dont stick to the traffic rules! such a miracle that we arrived safely at the hotel O.o
we arrived at the hotel around 17.00u and spent some time showering and changing our clothes because we felt dirty after the long trip we met each other again at 20.00u to have dinner because we were soooooo hungry!
we’d picked the Japanese restaurant which was close to our hotel
the food was realli cheapp! 38 yuan for a BIG bowl udon with seafood!
unfortunately I had limited choices at this restaurant becoz 90% of the food was made with pork!=((
after dinner we went to the supermarket to buy some snacks =p
it was a small supermarket with 2 employees who were staring at us
I bet they were gossiping about us so I asked them: ‘What’s the problem?’ they probably did not understand what i said and started to yell something in shanghainese language =__=” well.. im obviously not from SHANGHAI! damnn those people are weird!
ohh btw I forget to mention.. our hotel is in the city centre which means that there are a lot of shopping centers around!^^ yayy.. shopping shopping shopping *kwijl*
