My hot cup of "贡丸" (meat balls, dunno if i typed it correctly...)

This is “狗不理包子” there's actually a story to this bun, this tour guide from Beijing told us when i there years ago...(when i was in primary school) well, if i didn't remember wrongly, it's about this guy everyone calls "ah gou", he used to be this useless chap....but one day he found the recipe to making excellent buns...and he became really proud after that, his buns were well liked, he earned much more money but lost many of his friends. The bun was then given such a name to describe how he ignored his old friends as he climb his way up to success....yea, so...dun be proud huh!

I'm eating the fried "gou bu li" buns...different from the steam ones in Beijing

Look!!!! China got interesting ice creams manz!!! i didn't get to eat any!!! ARGH...look at the corn one!! so nice manz!!! haiz....wasted

After dinner we went to chill out at "You To Bar" a super happening place!

This is "Reggae Bar" we went there after the long wait at "You To Bar"...couldn't find a sit ah! so our tour guide stayed to standby for us while we head down to "Reggar Bar" first...and called us as soon as she got seats for us at "You To Bar"...

SHANGHAI pics

This is my third time trying to upload the pics...hope nothing happens! (por pi por pi), now every five pictures i upload i'm gonna click the 'save as draft'!

As i was typing the other time...i decided to post the pics i've got with me now while waiting for the others to arrive HAHA...so here goes! and enjoy :)

Day one, arrival at ShangHai International Airport (9th April 2007)...we all look pretty tired though, the first thing everyone did once we reached was to sms or call home!

First stop was to HangZhou, this is what i saw on the way there...overhead bridge with escalators!! how come we don't have that in Singapore?

This is our hotel in HangZhou...looks scary right! well, it really is manz...you'll know why later. (btw, this hotel is beside a hospital -_- what a location)

Before going to out rooms, our tour guide warned us that the rooms are not made yet...i didn't expect to see this though...wth is on the table?! and they have pictures of girls in bikini in the room...

See! so messy leh...and quite gross also...!! there's this massage parlor almost directly opposite me and yh's room...! Just when we thought that nothing worse can happen, guess what we saw!

Murder case in the hotel!!! so damn scary...and murderer on the loose!! how can right!!! the notice was there to like warn us to be careful...after discovering the notice, we were all so afraid, we went "sleep in the lobby ah" and "call and tell the teacher" and "don't sleep la"! HAHAHA...but really, the few nights we were there, we were so exhausted when returned to our rooms, too tired to have scary thoughts...all of us slept our rooms HAHA! (i'll tell you what we did at night later)

After settling down, we went to visit WAHAHA Corporate! The company is not as funny as its name, it's actually pretty huge! WAHAHA is like the China version of F&N! serious...and hmm they have their very own coke, called "fei chang ke le" or "非常可乐". The brand started out with this guy selling nutritional drinks for kids on a bicycle! Plus, they have cool spokesperson like wang lee hong!

This is like a display room, of all their products and the company's history, motto, business process etc etc...nice huh!

We were all allowed to pick a complimentary drink from the shelves! so i took that! cute right...i thought since WAHAHA started out with kids drink, it would be good to try the kids one :) taste good, like a mixture of yoghurt, fruit and milk drink!

Everyone with their choice of drink :)

At the beautiful outside of the WAHAHA factory...oh ya, we visited the plants, to see how the drinks are packed and all! way cool...but can't take pictures...so yea!

Cool name for the garden right..."coke garden"

Hui, me and my drink :)

Had a banquet style dinner that night...

Coca cola in chinese

China beer to go with dinner

"xi hu pi jiu" and me

After dinner, we went to watch this super cool china style show in this "xi hu zhi ye" theatre! The theatre is just next to xi hu....very nice place! The show is super nice too, it's like a combination of alot of ancient shows, including "liang shan bo and zhu ying tai" plus! alot of great stunts and music...

Grand opening...the uncle infront of me just refuse to lean back throughout the show...argh!

One of the many stunts

Check out the girl on top and those plate girls below!!!

This is floating guan yin niang niang...can you see tripitake below! woah they rawk! i like guan yin niang niang :)

Qian shou guan yin! suppose precise manz their hands...as in the position!

Qian shou guan yin with the kung fu monks

Ending...very nice show!

After watching the show, we went shopping around the area! check out pizza hut in chinese!

Starbucks's unisex toilet!

This is our night time must visit site! just outside the hotel...3 very unique roadside stalls you can never find in Singapore! each stick of the bbq thing cost only 50 cents RMB! it's like you choose what kind of things you want then they will bbq it for you...with seasoning and all! very very nice :) I ate hmm, nian gao, dou gan, mushroom, lotus, potato...yea (corn is not nice though...their corn taste different from the ones in Singapore)

BBQ auntie and me :) she is super nice, she lets me warm my hands above her bbq thing!

This is the "guo bing" uncle...the guo bing comes is 3 flavours, chilli, salted and sweet...very very nice!! it's similar to roti prata...but is the white hard kind...then inside got filling...very nice like "cai por"!

My unglam pic...but nvm, you can see the guo bing thing...cool huh!

Well, that's about all for day 1 in Hangzhou :) will update soon on day 2 and all :)
