14/12/2008 (Still at shanghai)
Day 2 at taiwan... Went to Pearl oriental tower which is the 2nd tallest tower in ASIA. Haha. i thought i heard wrong when it wasn't the world. Anyway, this tower is freaking high. The lift takes about 15 minutes to go up and down. ZzZ? I wonder if the lift attendant gets bored sending people up and down. =.= Basically.... For the rest of the days it goes like this.
Basically its a tour around shanghai but i went to 5 main cities. Shanghai has nothing much except its Nanjing road. Been there 3 TIMES. 1st was day 1 and 2nd and 3rd time was on the last 2 days. I walked that street until i can remember what shop is located where and what they sell. Paced up and down the whole place but didn't find anything nice. Bought myself a nice new sneaker! Which was really expensive. =( But who cares. as long as money goes money comes.
15/12
Oh suzhou is really nice.. I guess the tour guide really knows how to explain things. I listened to many of his "stories" Which are actually just history story. Talked about san guo yan yi (3 nation that thing. =.= ) Dunno the english translation though. Talked about some long long ago history people what they do. Then we went to this silk factory where they sell silk products.
1) Silk does not burn.. Amazing? Apparently we tried to burn silk with a lighter and the flame extinguished itself.
2) Fake silk can be made from 3 plastic bottles... wtf? Again, we tried to burn the fake silk and INDEED the fumes it produce smell like plastic. and it burns real fast. =.=
Silk indeed very nice. And my parents bought me a blanket! Since my old one was like.... torn here tattered there.. Almost freezing everynight. Haha. Of cos.. i had to chip in some $$ also. Not cheap u know those real silk.. But the blanket is really comfortable i guess. After silk we went to a national museum.... Okay i must really say museums are just a waste of land and space.
1)What to archeologist do with the trash they find.
-> Dump it in a museum! like this
2) Why even bother to put national treasures in such museums when we are not allowed to look at them. =.= (No picture available cos they go savekeep those nice nice thing inside high security place)
3) Apparently people of ancient time like to make statue of people and sometimes make really ineffiecient armours like this...
