So, as I get ready to leave the big city of Shanghai, for my smaller city of Sydney, I spent the last few days just doing some simple things… Nothing to taxing on my age…
So, in the tech district of Xujiahui, there’s this restuarant all-you-can-eat type buffet, which is expensive, and lets you have some expensive stuff… The staff there wouldn’t let you take photos… =(
They served a Sashimi platter for us free ‘cos business hasn’t been good lately, and my anut has a VIP card… Yay?
Not Xujiahui, but a dodgy black-market like outlet warehouse place somewhere east of Xujiahui, and South of Huihai Road. They have some nice and convincing fake stuff, (they tell you that they’re fake) I saw a pair of Audio Technica ES7 headphones (which are shiny) and I had thought that even for fakes I’d like them just for display… But I wanted to at least test sound quality, but they were BAD. Sounded like cheap $2 earphones with nothing defined… Put me off.
On Fuzhou Road, (a road parallel to Nanjing Road) are a lot of book stores. Didn’t buy any books, but bought some pens and stuff…
I love rice in stone pots! (It’s Korean style, and I’ve never actually had any…)
This “Star Mall” recently opened just outside where I’m staying… Loads of people there on the openning day.
A place called “Qibao”, a little west of where I am, it’s a sort of “old town” that has some good small eateries to eat some really good dumplings.
Neko-san Nyan Nyan~!
It’s a nice little place… A little small though… And next to an Hongqiao Airport…
Some, smelly tofu… Apparently, it tastes really good, but I didn’t find anything great about it… tasted like normal hard tofu…
The fist Chatime I’ve seen in China. Some have begun opening in Sydney and other places too.
This place is Shanghai’s “Hong Kong”. Easily accessible from the Hungpi South Road Metro station, it’s a quite little place, full of bars and resturants. By night, this place is very lively.
My Dad’s dad is obsessed with Mahjong, and when he had heard there were automatic Mahjong tables a few years ago, he forked out a good amount of money to be one of the first to own one. I have no idea how to play Mahjong.
A wholesale market place where I sampled a lot of tea… =D
Last night, we went to a restuarant for lunch and ordered a big fish.
There’s still a lot of it left…
