Shanghai Day 3

I got out of bed a bit early, I don't want to rush. Had my breakfast at 730am and had some dumplings again. It was so good! =)

It was a rainy day today. I heard from CNN that Michael Schumacher retired and won't join this season. The news was just right in time because our itinerary for today is to go to Shanghai F1 International Race Circuit. I've been wanting to ride this F1 car. Unfornately, the Chinese government had this announcement that the Circuit will close starting today to start the construction for the event this month. Oh...too bad! =( We ended up karting instead.

Karting is not new to me. I've been karting with Xave many times --- Subic, Podium, the Fort. So, I'm used to it but still I had the ride twice! It was an indoor karting so it was a different experience for me. The first one was with the gals but it was like we were parading so I had my second turn with the guys and you won't believe this...I was better than them. *bwahahaha* They were all afraid of speed and they were all impressed.*ahem-ahem*

Lunch at Wang Pau He Restaurant, which has a more than 200 years of history in China. This resto was famous for its crab and well, i think up to now.

Then we immediately went to Athlene Massage Centre for a spa. It was a 3hr massage (whole body, face and reflexology) and it was the best I ever had! I dozed off while they were doing my back. It was awesome! =)

Huang Pu River was our next stop. We had a cruise and dinner. Our last was at the Plaza 66. They have the LV, Chanel, Fendi and Hermes to name a few. I checked out some bags I've been liking.

Fendi - the famous Spy bag! Whoooo! I looooove it and I almost gave in. It was so tempting and will definitely haunt me 'till I get it. *when, when, when...?*

Chanel- the quilted bag in whitish beige caught my attention. It was a small one maybe 3 or 4 times of my Jumbo 2.55 and sooo pricey for that size. I wouldn't think of buying it. Now, I realized that mine was a steal!!! *yipee, much justified!*

LV- i was surprised that it is extremely expensive here in Shanghai compared to Manila. They find it as a luxury and it is a most sought after brand here. That was how they explained it to me (the locals). We are lucky, it is much cheaper in Greenbelt 4.

Didn't had the chance to peak at Hermes and other shops. I need to pack for tomorrow's departure. We are leaving for Singapore again and our call time is 5am!

I better get going now and pack. I don't know how to make my things fit in my trunk. I better master the "art of packing light and tight". *wink*
