Shanghai Baby

kgt_333: looks like the Taiwan fiasco was limited to.. Taiwan.

All the hoping and praying worked ;] Got to see more than Pudong Airport, Sheraton Hotel and ATC. And no greeedy drivers, too! Thanks to kgt & lara, kind souls who picked me up from my place and brought me safely to PAL C2 Terminal at Sunday 4am, and v.v. Wednesday night at 9pm.

Day 1: Stalls/Shops outside YuYuan Garden + Divisoria-looking malls + Crab! + Nanjing Road & People's Square


So there I was, taking photos of the aged, arched roofs of *YuYuan Garden* just to find out later that they're not at all aged. ;p Arched, yes. The shops / buildings were added just recently. (The real) YuYuan Garden is a smaller structure at the center of all the stores / restuarants, waiting to show its ancient charm to anyone willing to pay ~200 pesos. Since my tour guide wasn't willing, a solo visit was mentally scheduled for Day 4. ;)






November to February are THE crab months. Yummy. There's nothing else to say really.



Went inside all the malls along Nanjing Road in search for The 2008 Journal and some brush pens. Unfruitful search, but a good excuse to visit all the malls ;p and to later sit and watch all the lights blinking and shining restlessly.

This place obviously has a happy lively vibe.
