Guangzhou Trip
Warning ... image heavy post.
First come first ... I got a new hp for my birthday.
Sony Ericsson k800i.
Loving the macro mode for the camera. Playing around with the paranomic views and colourings. But it's hard getting used to it.
Next investment ... a bigger memory card.
Some pics I took with my new phone.
Drool ... damn I need to go out for sushi tomorrow.
Doodling during a meeting ... la la la la la.=P
My view of China after my trip ...
I still keep to my stand of the hygiene of the streets and toilets of China. Dirty. Still lotsa spit and people just throwing their rubbish and cig butts anywhere they like ... even with a dustbin just a few steps away.
I rather hold it in for the whole day til I get back to the hotel or a nice hotel than to go to any other loo!
Traffic is scary. But if you're not a "fierce" driver there ... you will take forever to get to your destinations.
LOVE THE CHEAP FOOD! Every meal I ate for two was at MOST S$20+ and those were the restaurants. YUMMERS~! But in politeness I had to eat things I never did. Hubby's friends treated us to a nice place, two of the dishes were namely fried frog and duck feet. YUCK!!!! I had to really force myself to eat. Frog barely got meat and the duck was like rubber. Sorry to say that but it's true. Give me beef and chicken anytime.
Ooh my hubby forced me to eat this stick of strawberries smothered in PURE MELTED SUGAR!!!! I was disgusted at the sight of him eating it. But gave in last min and .. wow ... the sugar covered up all the sourness of the strawberries ... I like.
Too bad Singapore don't have!
I also am missing the fried sotong sticks and curry fish balls!
Okay ... on with the pics. Will explain .. when I feel like it.
Fast food restaurant that sells porridge and other small chinese dishes.
This is the one of the shops in the accessories WHOLESALE building. I went to the clothing, accessories, glasses & shades, toys, bags and shoes wholesale shopping centres. But what I really hated is that they didn't sell anything in single pieces. Not even the bags. I ended up spending more buying the same stuff from outside shops.
This place is like Bugis. Some known brands but plenty of smaller rows of small shops in between selling cheap stuff. I went there like twice.
Did my nails in Beijing Road. Super well done right? All less than half an hour and only ... hahah ... S$5+. Nail art like this minimumly cost about $20 or more in Singapore.
RBT. Quite a popular teahouse there I think. Quite a few branches in the places that I went.
Most of the staircases in the wholesale centres had this contraption. This is because a lot of the people there buy their stuff by the bags ... BIG bags and trolley-ed them around. Lifts were scarce so this was an alternative.
I really wonder which idiot did this translation for the poor store owner.
Font, colour all the same.
Saw this so heartbroken. And worse still this cat meat was the cheapest meat on the menu!!! T_____T
Our buys!!!
I wonder when I'm gonna wear those boots.
Am gonna try to wear those jeans this week ... bought it one size too small. Can wear but tight. GYM GYM GYM!!!
Mostly hubby's stuff. Only the bag and jeans are mine.
Ooh and each of us got a new toy .... hehe.
Now all I need are batteries.
