Shanghai Trip

I went to Shanghai with a female I knew through my advertisement for travelling partner. She is the exact version of room mate from hell. She is the most annoying person. She is married. Just make me wonder which idiot/fool marries this woman. Must be living a life in hell with such a person.

My trip to Shanghai is fine except for her. Shanghai is a nice place but the shopping is so so. I still feel London or Paris is the best place to shop. The clothes is not my cup of tea. The fashion is just not to my taste. Most of the clothing on sale is winter clothing. Not suitable for Malaysia hot weather. Buy some winter clothing.

The weather is cold. If it rains, it is shivering cold. I did shiver once or twice. Nice experience. As in Malaysia, one can never encounter such cold weather.

Went to Hangzhou. There is the west lake. I find the scenery nice but not spectacular. As compared to Guilin, the boat ride along the lake in Guilin was spectacular with beautiful mountains of all size.

In Wuxi, I was facinated by the gigiantic buddha statute and gigiantic buddha hand. I prayed for a better future and maybe able to meet my true love in year 2006.

Suzhou, nothing much to see. Visited the silk factory. Bought some silk quilt and pillow.

I visit the Dr Sun Yat Sen memorial park in Nanjing and saw the bridge. Supposed to be second longest bridge in China. It takes a lot of stamina on my part to climb the steps to see the tomb stone of Dr Sun Yat Sen. But I managed to reach the top and pay my respect.

Bought some sovenir from my trip to China. It is one exhausting trip. I fell sick when I return. Probably from lack of sleep. I am one of those who can sleep well only on my own bed.

The next trip to China will be to Beijing etc. Maybe in one or two years time.
