I'm finally back from China! Well, actually, I've been back for about a week now, I just haven't gotten around to uploading the pictures or updating my journal. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. I've met people I'm thankful I have, made some new friends, and seen things and understood things I never knew before. An eye-opener? Most definitely. But I wouldn't go there on a package tour again if I had a choice. I took some pictures, but I'd like to warn you; graphic intensiveness ensues. DAY ONE: SHANGHAI PUDONG This was the fish and rice meal my mom and I had on China Eastern Airways.. It was bland, soggy and UGH. Maglev Train in Shanghai. We headed to the station (just a few minutes worth of walking) almost immediately after landing in Shanghai Pudong International Airport. It can go up to 430km/h! Scary. You see trees and buildings just whizzing by. Maglev means Magnetic Levitation. Honestly, I was paying attention to the tour guide giving the explanation on this Maglev train, but after 8 days, it was all lost on me. I'm such a n00b when it comes to the lack of technology.. Mommy just before boarding the train. :) Super long train... It's even longer than the MRT line. The seats are quite comfortable too. See the little "0km/h" thing up there? It updates as it runs. See what I mean by updating? This was the highest number I could catch. I believe it WAS the highest speed. Exiting the train. Some of us felt queasy, and I believe one even threw up in the bin. My uncle (mom's sister's husband) and Mommy standing in front of the Longyang Rd station map. Where's Longyang? No clue. I was there for the photographic opportunity. ;) We took a bus to Cheng Huang Miao or the City God Temple. It's not a temple at all, more like a shopping district. The buildings look like a temple's, though. Got a pretty nice teacup for cheap over here. That's Ningpo Tangyuan Dian or Ningpo Soupball Shop in the picture. Tangyuans are actually a hot dessert, like little glutinous rice dumplings with nut or bean paste stuffing (I think there are lotus paste ones too), boiled and served in a sweet soup. It's actually quite tasty. Dairy Queen?! In SHANGHAI?! I thought Chinese had hereditary lactose intolerance. :P This was also found in the City God Temple. Pardon the shaky hand; it was cold and my hands were shivering; I was a genius to have my gloves stashed in my check-in luggage. I just had to take a picture of Starbucks in such a building setting. It's beautiful. So... oriental. Well duh, I was in China. *smacks forehead* I had the chance later to have a nice warm drink in there. When temperatures dip to 0ºC (32ºF), frappucinos are NOT an option. I'll upload the rest later on separate posts so as not to overwhelm. . // prawninator | 23:37 + ~ | |
To whoever you are, wherever you are, I love you. I probably don't know you yet, but when I do, I'll know, and so will you. And you'll love me for who I am, as will I. You might be living in my neighbourhood, or some other town or country far away. I don't know. And neither do you, at this point. Wherever you are, I know I'll find you... if you don't find me first. It's just a matter of time. . // links | misc + - poorgamergirl auction - email me - [shop] wear your dice - [shop] the poor gamer girl - idm website - idm forums - halloween photos The Poor Gamer Girl Fund :D We could use any help we can get, but you are not obliged to. :) | |
