Day 7
okay this day by right it should be a free and easy day for us.
but we chose optional guided tour since we dunno where to go.
anyway in the morning when i opened the curtains of my hotel room i realised there's actually a school directly behind my hotel.
they were doing morning exercise.
one thing i noticed was everyone was doing exercise seriously.
i was trying to spot anyone slacking but i cant see one.
very different from Singapore schools. lol
in the morning went kampong shopping.
lol
the coach brought us to some not-so-developed part of shanghai and gave us 2hours free time.
bought some souvenirs.
street wet market
jade pendants
shui jiao
smelly toufu. cheap. but nobody buys lol. too smelly lar -.-
okay this stall sells all pigs stuffs =/
this one all ducks
souvenir street
went Raffles City after that.
yup, Raffles City.
in Shanghai there's Raffles City built by Singapore's very own Capitaland.
everything inside the shopping mall looks the same as the Singapore's version.
Even the design of the toilets are the same
Proceed on the Huaihai Road(淮海路)
Shanghai's Orchard Road.
We are recommended to shop in HongKong Plaza.
Anyway HongKong Plaza was built by Li Ka-Shing, Hongkong's billionaire
it's something like Singapore's Suntec City
Hong Kong Plaza
The crowds in Huaihai Road are prevalent.
At every point of road junction you can see crowds waiting to cross the roads.
Over there traffic lights are useless; there's a traffic police at every road junction controlling traffic
now you see the traffic police
now you don't.
went back to hotel at 7pm.
we had to pack luggage back to Singapore.
but then we realised we are short of luggage, so we made our way down to shops nearby to buy luggage.
just as my mom enquired about the price of a particular luggage, a pedestrian passed by the shop and saw us speaking mandarin to the shop owner.
i think he heard our mandarin slang was different from theirs, so he sang:
"全世界都在讲中国话，我们说的话， 让世界都认真听话。。"
S.H.E's 中国话.
-.-
that was my last night in Shanghai.
=(
