Lazy movie reviewer day

Not as good as the previous installments but still enjoyable.

The above passages may contain spoilers.

Rating: 3.5/5

Went to Yu Yuan and i wasn’t expecting to see anything like that. THe buildings are so beautiful and restored. I love historical looking places so it was like PHWAR for me!

The pictures will tell you why. This place is a tourist attraction so it is very commercialised. But near the chen hong temple, there is 2 yuan stores and 10 yuan bags store. I bought a backpack for my beijing trip for 10 yuan (2 sing!!!)

this picture wasn’t aimed at anyone cause i was trying to capture a cute guy or what, but it was the queue that i wanted to protray for this nanxiang xiao long bao store. Its the singapore version of donuts. Didn’t manage to eat but i will go back and queue one day

I feel like an imperial concubine. I think a few period films are filmed here.

FOOD again! I was full so i just ate abit.

this is tang bao or soup bao. I just slurped up the soup using the straw and its huge. But didn’t eat the skin cause its hard.

After which cause we were hosting some friends from wu xi (another part of china), we brought them to Bund.

they went up this tower and paid like 85 rmb. I declined cause i will have a chance to go up with the other interns

Instead, i went shopping alone at this super brand shopping centre. And I sort of saw some celebrities

The crowd is 10-20 times the amount of people here. Its crazy! So who’s fans are this?

SHE lah.

i was in the queue trying to get some pics but my camera gave up so didn’t manage to capture any pics of them and I got out of the horde of people. So sorry King meng.

I wanted to blog abt hangzhou but i am tired. More blog posts tmr

There was a reason why i didn’t blog.Because my flickr account is full so i have to go around setting another account. Grrr 200 pics is too little.

I finished my report, all its lacking is a cover page and an executive summary and it will be ready for submission. so now its blogging time

phwar i stopped at suzhou (for the pics) which is really slow. SO an update now!

i went to the science and technology museum. Ok alot of tourists go to this place to shop for fake goods. HA! All the stores selling premium fake goods are now located at the metro station near the science and technology museum. Phwar, i didn’t manage to get them the last time but trust me, i will be there again.

Ok back to the museum. The museum is HUGE! and alot of space was wasted to create the spacious feeling.

different minerals

Dinosaurs alert

birds that used to be in Shanghai but is no longer found in Shanghai. Such a majestic looking eagles.

The museum was not bad. quite interesting to view the exhibits. More on education, cause some of the things i have learnt before (hallo darwin) but stuff on aerospace and nuclear power is still interesting to learn about.

AND now for the best part of the day. DInner.
Met up with my uncle’s friend who is working here in china. So the 3 of us went to this korean restuarant which is super good. We waited almost 1 hr to get into the restaurant.

Korean food yum

its the korean bbq where we bbq the meat and then wrap it in vegetable.

Not bad, the whole meal came up to 10 sing per person which i didn’t pay a cent

And then i came home and on the way home, there are roadside stores which sells vcds and food. I like this particular store for their bbq meat.

The 2 chefs are in hats. Its a father-son team.

The next day i went to meet uncle and friend again for dinner. This time its steamboat at a very posh restaurant. 30 sing per person leh. What do you think? As usual, I don’t have to pay a single cent. But my cab fare was abt 14 sing to and fro. PUI.

One sat evening, i went with my boss to a traditional shanghainese restaurant at xin tian di. And it was really good and pricey (which i didn’t have to pay again:P)

xiao long baos and i don’t have to say whether it was good anot. hee

xia ren which is super good. I like it.

and we ate other food which i didn’t take cause it was gone before i can snap the pics.

after dinner, she brought me to a museum which says the history of shanghai in the 1920s.

random building which has been restored.

ang moh right? Shanghai has alot of western influence even in the 1920s.

Notice the chinese and western influence. The typewriter is obviously some western influence.

this is a western invention too.

a lake made in china.

I recently visited the Pet Safari at Vivocity and now I feel like getting a dog more than ever. Btw, do bulldogs require an additional trainer license?

Whoever did the movie posters placement sure have a sense of humour. Superman meets Eragon meets X-Men!
