Week past...

one more week gone by...

the weeks seem very long... in a good way. like there's a lot of things happening everyday and time passes by slowly. in one hour so many things can happen.

we went to 南京西路 early this week... the train was super packed and we had problems getting out. still can remember, hanbin and carmen nearly couldnt get out of the train in time. the door was closing and hanbin, by himself, stopped the doors with his hands and pulled them open. then there was the hydraulic sound. damn cool lar...

at 南京西路 there got a lot of 小吃. there were so many things to choose from that we had problem choosing a place to eat. we ended up choosing this place that looked a bit like a restaurant that might have been slightly over our budget but ya... since we were already there. the food was quite good and we 7 people eat... 88rmb. damn cheap. next time if my family comes over, definitely will bring them there.

what else happened.... actually, most of the days we were at home watching tv and eating a lot of 外卖. dinner was usually the meal i dun look forward to most of the time. but lunch was always quite good.

Saturday was hanzhou.

initial plan was to take a bus from our place to hanzhou direct but den that morning when we called the bus guy and apparently his cooling water burst and he couldnt contact us and couldnt make it in time to fix it. so we decided to try our luck at the shanghai railway station... so many problems... wanna travel den just travel lor. complain expensive den dun travel. lol...

reach there and had like a long discussion about the tour package. well... sort of a discussion... erm... ya.

but in the end we still took the travel package the cost 231rmb in total which includes the two way train tickets.

the train wasnt as bad as expected. was much better than the movies. lol...

but the tour itself was damn cock... super hot and really damn rushed... went to 西湖and took a boat across to this small island and din even have time to take photos. and before we know it, it's off to the next place. saw a total of 5 other places and 2 sales pitch (the silk factory and the 龙井茶 store which had bad 龙井茶). 宋城 really is quite cool and had a lot of interesting things to do but we had like 20 mins in it and damn sian... the stupid bus was forever late and we rushed to wait and waited to rush... feels like NS. but it was still fun... more or less... hahaha

got loads of pics to upload... will be uploading them in a while
