China Trip: Day 5

So it’s the last day. Colleagues were so envy with some of us for getting to shop in Shanghai while they were stuck in the typical tourist spots. So after our last visit to the medicine shop in China, we were brought to Xintiandi for picture taking and kill some time before we head to the terminal to take the bullet train to the airport. The bullet train in China is apparently the fastest now. It took us only 7 minutes.

And despite being there on time, we were informed that our flight was delayed. Shucks!!! At least the bosses were nice to let us come in late to work the next day. And I guess it was fated. Bcos of the delay, I bumped into Rosamund Kwan, one of Hong Kong’s actress. And please, I am no celebrity stalker but I was thinking why not? I asked her for a picture together but though my feelings told me she was quite reluctant, she still did. Phew…

So what does Porky Queen have to say?
1) Shopping in Shanghai Qi Pu Lu is awesome. But only cash accepted here. So bring more cash and save the credit cards for the rip-off places.
2) Every meal has pork. So you either love it or hate it. Me of course, love it to bits
3) If you need to get rid of Mr H, get a cream from Quan Jian Street called 999. Haha... it’s true.
4) Souvenirs are cheaper in Suzhou and Wuxi. And forget about buying Nike and other branded stuff in China. The taxes are higher there.
5) Drivers in China are mad. They love to honk. And drivers are seated on the left side just like America.
6) If you wanna compliment a pretty gal in Suzhou and Wuxi, you say Ah Yo Yo.
7) Learn some basic Mandarin to help you get around.
