Oriental Week

Some recap of my shanghai and taipei trip.

31 Aug - Shanghai
Sheraton tai ping yang. nice room




七浦路wholesale shopping. Call me the bargain Queen. *Roars*



these china man hovered around us and keep persuading us to their store for a good 15 mins while we are waiting for the rest of the crew. Overwhelming attention from them.

I had 1 of the most traumatising experience in my life here. I was so urgent for the loo so i paid 15 cents rmb and went in expecting an "ok" toilet since they make me pay. I nearly fainted.

There were NO DOORS. Not that i never hear of it before , just that i totally didn't expect such a scenerio in a developed part of china. the so called "cubicles" are side by side , the walls are at most my shoulder height.
You see everyone so clearly squatting there.So nauseating can. And there's a waste bin inside e cubicle, this cleaning aunt will just appear beside u ( while u r squatting) use a super long tongs to pick e bin ,emptied it and put it back. Majiam u r invisible.

Fyi, there is no toilet bowl or watsoever in each cubicle. There's just a common drain underneath all cubicles draining everything from the 1st cubicle to the last one. so apparently you see !#$$%^&* n whatever flowing past under you from the 1st few cubicles.


I wished i brought my own toilet.


Erm auntie, i taking photo leh.

My long awaited massage. 1 hr of body and 1 hr of foot reflexology for only 80 RMB (16 sing). There were a few around and we randomly settled for this. Not up to expectation, but for e amt we paid , what more can i ask for? The best is still in Bali, with hot stone therapy. ARRrr. i don't mind doing a bali night stop again.

Some of my buys.

hello kitty towel for $6 sin

my bling bling necklace. Really like this one.
After touching down from shanghai on sat noon, i headed for my taiwan flight early sunday morning. Shagness.

2 sep - Taipei

Suppose to sleep till evening and go for dinner. but taiwan channels are so so so NICE that i spent 3 hours in front of the TV and went for dinner straight. It's really 1 good variety after another, i'm so spoilt for choice. Relive my crouch potato days!
My fave drink at all times. Milk Green Tea
I m so proud of myself this time round. I spent only a good $16 sing there. Record breaking can! usually in taipei, sure spend at least $100. Went shilin for food only this time. I deserved a pat on my shoulder.whaha. Ironically i spent $30.90 on my cab home from the airport. Cos my regular cab couldnt make it in time so i just took a random one from the airport. There was peak hour, airport surcharge, a raining weather and a terrible jam. Times like this, i wished i m not staying in Jurong.
