Shanghai Day 9

My days in Shanghai were quickly coming to an end. Before I knew it, it was already my ninth day there. Day nine was a rather relaxing day as most of the buying was done the day before. As for me, I had one final task – to buy souvenirs for my friends! We returned to the Yu Gardens to do our last...

Shanghai Day 8

I can’t remember whether my eighth day in China was a hot or cold one. Whatever it is, it definitely still beats the hot weather back in Subang Jaya. The eight day was of very little sightseeing. It was mostly on last minute shopping. I had a “long” list of items to purchase. In the...

Shanghai Day 4

Just as predicted by the weather forecast, the fourth day (Saturday) was the coldest among my days in Shanghai! The morning temperature was 0 degree Celsius! It might have been lower than that as I’m quite skeptical as to whether the car could measure temperatures below 0 degree Celsius. Anyhow,...

Shanghai Day 3

With temperatures expected to drop towards the weekend, it was a chilling 3 degree Celsius on Friday morning. Wore gloves and a scarf to protect me from the elements. It did not strike me to wear two pairs of socks – something which I regretted later in the day! We started the day by having a...

Woke up to a misty morning on my second day. The temperature was expected to drop quite a bit towards the weekend. The ambient temperature was 13 degree celsius – as indicated by the thermometer in the car. This is the a view of the neighbourhood from Eu-Juin’s house. We headed to Nanjing...
