hmm... nearing the end of week 1

well... friday has come to an end and now preparing to go slp.

found quite a few interesting places in shanghai already.

we found the shopping heaven Qi Pu Lu.

we were at the weird river town Qi Bao.

we went to some pagoda near Qi Bao.

we found the super cheap damn nice food district juz along Long Hui Lu.

we went to the orchard road of china which is between Nanjing Dong Lu and Ren Ming Guang Chang.

the carrefour at da mu zhi

the shopping warehouse along Longyang Lu.

the huge national park along Hua Mu Lu.

and a few more stuff...

the food here is a bit saltier or a bit oilier, sometimes both. but i think im adapting quite well. the air here at longyang seems always hazy but den i think its not that bad. reasonable bah.

the water here is not portable but den the beer is cheaper den water. (i haven drank any yet... recovering from FOC and nv managed to stay awake to drink with the others)

the weather they said will be damn hot but until now... all i think is that the air is more stagnant rather than the weather is hot.

shopping is amazing but i have to control myself or else will really lose control. bought something for my sis already though.

the kfc is damn bad. the pizza is damn ex... but the small hawkers in the blue collar areas... DAMN NICE! the secret shops in shopping centres where the locals patronize... HEAVENLY.

jogging here got more to see but always scared get lost and the roads not very even...

the housing that the CPG provides is really pleasant to stay in.

it's quite fun to stay with the ppl in this house. really enjoying myself here in GIP china. already thanked clarence for psychoing me to come for gip with him. in a way... it's a good break from singapore. still miss the guys and girls in singapore though. wished that there were more of them here with me here but ya... they still talk to me a lot on msn so like dun miss them too much yet.

so as of now... my gip exp is a 8 out of 10.
