Shanghai Trip - Part 1 (Shopping)
Ok, as I am still arranging my photos for the recent trip , maybe i can write a summary of where I have visited so that my blog will not be in a mess. I am trying hard to categorise those topic I really would like to talk about.
SHOPPING
DESTINATION 1 :- There are this very very nice street (actually I notice there will be one of this similar street in every big city in China) where we can walk and shop with lots of nice and colourful neon lights. But the different between this one in Shanghai (NANJING STREET) is much more beautiful in terms of the lighting and cleanliness. First of all this street give me the first impression of "wah, cantiknya" - I'm showing my "uluness" AGAIN . Although there are lots of ppl walking along this street the cleanliness here are superb compare to other cities in China. For ladies , NANJING STREET is a must to check out if you like shopping. ( HINT ! if you are those looking for place to brush up your bargaining skill there are another one but not here). Anyway, I am sure you will be happy after visiting this street. Oh ya, the only thing that I don't like about this place is there are way to many people asking for money... there are young lad that will come up to you asking for few dollar or for something to eat. Imagine , by walking along the street you will be approached 4-6 times..... Furthermore, they are using the same opening sentences when they approach you.
DESTINATION 2 :- Actually I can't remember what is the name of the street or place. Anyway, this place is a must go for all tourists... It is some where near a temple and where you can eat steam bun ( a very famous Shanghai food). Ok, ok , I will try to compensate by putting up more picture as for this place so that you will know. Talking about this place we spend almost the whole day there bargaining (yes this is where you can now practise your bargaining skill) for tea, bag , souvenir, calligraphy and lots more . Over here you can also try the famous Shanghai steam bun ( pls be warn that you have to be patient for the food ). Over there are always a long queue of ppl waiting to buy the bun. For those that like a Chinese delicacy call "stinking tofu" it is everywhere in at the place too. You can just get it by the smell. Oh ya, for those Starbucks and McD ppl there are few of these outlet at this place, so you can choose either to go for the "stinking tofu" or the western food. * Pause * (I'm still thinking of what i can describe about this place). Maybe that is it for this place for those shopaholics and food admirer.
DESTINATION 3:- "XIN TIAN DI" - 新天地
This place is where you can get all the branded outlet here while at night it will transformed into a lively clubbing area . (It is something like the Bangsar of Shanghai). Very crowded and nice place. I will just leave this place for my next entry about clubbing , cause I does not really shop at those branded shop....
So, I ill try to post all the relevant photos of those food and shopping outlet at my next entry.
Ok, finally I have written so much ... compare to the previous entries , this will be the best my effort . But there are more to come for :-
CLUBBING
FOOD
SIGHTSEEING
Hope I can manage to write all those up slowly... (of course with photos)
