Nanjing

Time check: 1.10am nanjing. No one to talk to at this hour. finally decided to clear some dust on my blog.

i had like 3 nights in nanjing and this is the last night. if only my batch girl is with me then we would have ventured to su zhou or even yangzhou.too bad.


1st day was pretty good. 9 of us went for a tour and it cost us only 50 rmb for the whole day excluding the entrance fees. good deal. captain n my leading were very funny guys who kept us entertained the whole day.

Some pictures


my room and the very hard bed


Sun yat sen memorial



my 1st meal -banana


Zhong Shan lin


I like this candid shot
me and the indonesian ladies

My colleague was so spontaneous, she went to try this which made her work out the hamster stunt.so cute.




It's spring time!




Sakura in nanjing too.
After lunch, we head to nanjing massacre museum.





All i felt was anger and heart ache. War made people crazy. Little pictures taken inside cos i was too engrossed with the pictures and history displayed.

Next up was Yangtze river and CHANGJIANG DAQIAO.

all 9 of us!


Our last destination, Fu zi miao, Confucius Temple


Qinhuai River



i love the reflections on the river

Tang hu lu.
Ended the night with a visit to the massage parlour for reflexology and body massage.shiok.
My 2nd day, i slept till a freaking 3pm!!! gosh! so all i did was walk around my hotel. Shopping is not as cheap as other malls that i have been to in china. Disappointed.in fact the clothes are almost singapore price which i find ridiculous. Probably cos its at the "orchard" of nanjing. Store owners here are younger but more hostile.
Oh yes one interesting fact i've learnt abt nanjing. Pixiu ,the auspicious animal is actually a symbol of nanjing and there is one big one right at the city wall and also in front of the train station. So of cos i need to get bring one lucky one back with me from the country of origin.
Was very happy i have got 3 new stations in my latest roster, Moscow, houston and Nanjing.
My stay in moscow was a cold, snowing and short one. houston is now the most boring city that i have beeen to in USA. pictures are on hold.LAzy..anyway I would proudly say our science center is def a better place to visit than NASA. The space center was a super low budget one. i guess they need all the money for the apollo projects.
Suddenly.. I MISS LONDON AND NEW YORK CITY..arhhhhhh.. n of cos my hohhoh at home..
