I am back from Shanghai and Suzhou and I shall talk about some of the events that happened during the trip. It’s a lousy weather over the weekends because it rained! The trip to Shanghai was almost like 4 hours? I just lost track of time over there. The lunch on the 1st day was below average but it was edible. As usual, we finished the food cleaner than the other tables because we were quite hungry. The meals following got better and better but we are always the table to finish every dish till the plate is completely white. We paid $160rmb to go for a cruise and a trip to the Oriental Pearl Tower. The weather was bad bad bad!! Due to the rain, the sky was very foggy. We took pictures on the deck of the ship and then went down and sat to admire the sea view. But then we could not stand the people smoking in the ship. It was very cramped in the ship and they were smoking us out. We simply could not stand the smell but had to endure through out the whole cruise. After dinner, we went to the tower and saw nothing but fog on the 263th floor. It was a dampening sight but we were being asked to go down to the 90th floor to view the night scene. It was rather nice and consoling but then it is out in the open air! Imagine being on the 90th floor and facing the cold wind blowing from outside? Brrr…
The hotel room was great! Not because the walls and beds are in pink but then the whole interior design and the cleanliness is good. I finally can sleep on a mattress bed after 1 month and sit on a toilet bowl! It’s rather legs-relaxing. Haha..
On the second day, we visited the temple, Han Shan Si, Su Zhou Yuan Lin, The Pear-Making Distribution Centre and Suzhou-Singapore Industrial Area. I spent a sum at the pearl centre because pearl powder is a good thing to bring home as gifts for family and friends. I bought 2 pearl facial creams and one pearl necklace and bracelet for my mum. I hope she likes it. The Suzhou-Singapore area was really very Singaporean!
After which we reached school at 8.30pm on Sunday.
