I’m back I’m back I’m back!

Finally I can continue my habit of embracing my Blackberry (BB!).

You wouldn’t understand how much I missed my BB during the 9days trip.

My trip was awesome, fulfilling (with shopping!) but as usual, tiring! I loved the time spent with my family. The 5 of us haven’t traveled together since early this year where our destination was Vietnam for the New Year. Trips like this are excellent bonding times for all of us and I really cherish the 9 days. Though my heart was screaming all out for my BB, for Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Its been 2-3 years since my last trip to China. And I’m immensely impressed with the changes I see. I wasn’t disappointed with what I’d expected to see. Vast improvements were made, for the Beijing Olympics in 2008, as well as for the Shanghai World Expo 2010.

Of course, I was really disturbed by some of the acts of the Chinese. I believe that what I see are Chinese people from small suburbs, according to what I was told by our Tour guide. Citizens from the big cities like Shanghai are definitely more civilized. Some of the acts includes spitting on the floor (after clearing their bloody throat loudly), speaking extremely loudly across to their friends even though they are miles apart, rushing like they are catching the last boat, pushing people infront of them while queuing!!

Nevertheless, the traffic conditions had improved much in Shanghai, but in small towns, they can get quite bad. Because the laws are more enforced in big cities i believe. For instance, the zebra crossing for pedestrians in smaller cities were of no use. The cars never stopped even when the green man lights up, we had to pluck up our guts to cross and force them to stop them instead.
In one of the small towns, we actually took a ride on their motor-powered-tricycle (like tuk-tuks in Thailand) back to the hotel from somewhere, and holy, these tricycles could even take the roads in the opposite direction because our hotel was at the other side of the road where we traveled from. I actually took a thrilling video while I was on board, show you guys soon. It was scary for the first time, as we could see cars coming OUR way, but it was thrilling for the second time! Something you definitely wouldn’t experience back in Singapore!

AND AND. The highlight of my trip was.. I GOT TO CUDDLE A POMERANIAN DOGGIE!!! I gotta show you my favourite photo of the trip……….

MY FAVOURITE.

This little thing caught my eye even though it was real dark, because we were at a night market. AWESOMELY FURRY, the touch of it feels like cotton candy. *my parents are not convinced yet* If only it costed what it was in China, it’d be an easier deal for us! I WISH I COULD BRING THIS PUP BACK! I am smittened. SO HAPPY. Was grinning from ear to ear and you can’t even really see my eyes! Photo was taken using my bro’s camera, so I took a picture of it on his screen, I’ll post the original again!

Wished I wasn’t in my nerdy specs lah, to look my bestest in this picca!
