WALIAO~~

Have been to shanghai for N times, but have never really gotten to know the place...so, One fine sunday afternoon, jenn and i decided to go to the museum with a friend. He suggested, so we tagged along. THe museum is hugeEEee, imagine the quantity of treasure in that place :) it was really rushed tat day coz we went there pretty late, we only had one hour to explore...it was really full of treasure...wonder how ppl from 1000 yrs BC ago lived..it was incredible and that instance, i felt so proud to be part of china. Guess what this is??? it looks like something really hard, it's a PILLOW from 206BC!! how to sleep like tat? i would have neck pain and back pain after sleeping on it for 8 hrs a nite..gosh...luckily i am not born in tat time, or else i wouldnt enjoy going to bed so much...hehehe...
and i got to know shanghai so well last week....i came to suzhou with my manager on Monday and he was nice enough to pick me up at my hotel...traffic in Shanghai was terrible. Our initial plan was to leave at 8am, turned out my manager only arrived at 9 because of bad traffic...and to get from pudong to puxi to suzhou, it was like going from west to east to south...it took us TWO hours to get out of shanghai!!! after two long hours, finally, we could head to suzhou...UNFORTUNATELY, my manager missed the turning and we had to make a big U turn...the u turn took forever~~~after 3.5 hours, we finally arrived at our office in SUzhou...haha...u know, the train from shanghai to suzhou only took 30mins and from train station to office only abt 45 mins, TOTAL? 1.15hours...3.5hours could take us to nanjing already...but i enjoyed the car ride..it meant no need to work...ahhahaha...

Another face of shanghai

The interesting thing about shanghai is, it's a modern city but somewhere around the modern city, you still can see a big contrast....i stayed in pudong...it's also a very cosmopolitan area...i mean, really really cosmopolitan...but when u walk in the small roads, you could see the contrast very clearly..was taking a stroll with my sis along some streets and we both noticed that in such a modern city, you still could see the old part of shanghai...and you started to imagine the kind of lives they lived in before development...how interesting~~ And while we walked, i saw a really INTERESTING road name....but u have to twist ur mind a bit...hehehe...if u could pronounce it in Hakka, you would laugh till you drop... :D WUWAHAHAHAH....my sisters and my mum laughed so LOUD when i told them...it was really funny
