Shanghai Day 2

Wake up call at 730am, had my morning shower and quick breakfast at the 3rd floor. Nothing extraordinary except for that dumpling with a very special sauce! *yummy*

The weather is quite nice. It was sunny but cool, what a nice day to start.

We all headed to Qi Pu Lu wholesale market for some shopping. Well, not that impressive. Stuffs I saw can be found in Manila as well. It's like our very own Greenhills tiange and Dongdaemon in Korea.

Fake bags are everywhere and very very cheap compared to Manila and Korea. A bag costs around 120RMB and that's around P875 to P1000 only! They also have some LV bags that were never released by LV. *hahaha* I wonder almost all locals carry one and I didn't see anybody carrying a geniune one.

I saw this Spy bag and it was so nicely done and indeed a knock off. Price was not available. They only sell on wholesale. Left the place with nothing on hand.

Lunch at Quan Ji De Restaurant. So-so for me but they say it is one of the nicest resto here. Chinese cruisine is very diverse!

We looked around some shops in Huaihai. Went to Mango (more expensive here), Sephora (a few brands only and no BENEFIT and LORAC but was able to grab some stuffs), Marc Jacobs (OMG!!! I saw the Veruka bags but the price is two times higher and I'm still thinking twice. This is hard to find now...hmmm...Goyard or Veruka?

Went to this "Little Venice in China" and I forgot the name of the place. It was an almost 2hrs of travel and a historical place (I think). I saw the former house of Mr. Shen. He was the richest man during Ming Dynasty and even richer than the emperor. I better get his complete name tomorrow. It's so difficult to remember. Anyways, he has a very big house and I took pictures of it (see my multiply account soon...) very...shall I say, exotic? *wink*

From time to time it is healthy to travel. You get to learn a lot of things and I'm beginning to love it! Culture of each country is very interesting. Now, I regret taking my History classes for granted. *hihihi*

Dinner at Yunhai Restaurant . This is the same resto where the APEC delegates were hosted for meals. It was an unforgettable dinner for me. Totally opposite of last night's dinner. They served us exotic foods --- duck's heart, feet, wings, intestines, goose's liver, eel, the whole duck with the head sticking out *yuck* and the reason why I lost my apetite and almost puked...TURTLE!!! I was a whole turtle and the head was so proud. It was really kadiri!!! I got sick and my head ached. I wanna walk out the table but of course "table manners" was shouting loud so I stayed. I just had water and orange juice for dinner. =(

Back to the hotel and now I'm blogging! Can't wait to upload all my photos in my multiply account. I want you guys to see the TURTLE *bwahahaha* you have to see it to believe it!

I need a shut eye.
