Shanghai Day 1

Landed China via SIA at around 7am today and I skipped the meal at the plane for sleep. I was so hard to sleep sitting down. Badger saved my day!

We catched the Maglev Train for a speedy ride to Shanghai and it was 430km/hr! Whoooo! It took us less that 7mins to arrived Shanghai compared to almost an hour if we take the coaster.

We went to Chenghuang Temple for a warm breakfast. I'm not so much of a Chinese food fanatic and I feel I will be losing some of my weight which is an advantage for me *diet?*. Yeah, I need to. After gaining much weight while taking the pill to correct my hormonal imbalance and after I quit smoking unnecessary pounds must be gone---FAST!*hahaha*

We spent the rest of the morning in Yuyuan and walked around Chenghuang Temple for some shopping of local produce. I bought some stuffs for my friends--- cutie purses for the gals and nothing yet for the guys. I still have to search some more...

Around 1030am my legs were in pain maybe because of too much walking. It was drizzling and I happen to bumped on Michael, an Aussie and decided to take a cup of coffee in Starbucks. It was 25RMB for a tall Cafe Mocha and that makes 175 pesos (more than USD3). A bit pricey compared to Manila. Not bad at all + a seat! =) I was tired and sleepy, a good seat will make me stretch my patience because I had to wait for almost 2 hrs. for others.

Lunch at the Lu Bo Lang Restaurant again, Chinese food. Hmm...I don't find it special, really! I've been wanting to see my room and sleep. That is my goal today.

Finally, after hours of waiting...We checked in in Hotel Salvo and I dozed off!

530pm, my room phone rang and it was a wake up call! OMG!!! I had no time to freshen up, immediately checked the mirror and went down for dinner at Ba Guo Bu Yi Restaurant. I loooooooove it! =) Proceeded to ERA for the Acrobatic show and it is a must-see, very impressive!

Now I'm back to the hotel and I'm happy I have my own computer in my room with unlimited broadband for FREE! That's what you call LUCK. *wink*

Got to go, I need a quick hot shower and a very sound sleep. Good night!
