This is the first time I have ever sat an airplane and its also the first time I have been to China. I took flight SQ836 from Terminal 3 at around 5:25pm yesterday evening to Shanghai. Four and a half hour flight there. When I reached there I finished watching New Moon and half of 2012. Hahax Checked into some random hotel called blue house hotel. It was already arranged for us. We stayed for the night and left the place the next morning. We traveled by cab to another part of sShanghai to fix some hydraulics thingy. That was the main reason my dad and I came to Shanghai. But that is only for one day. The rest of the days till Saturday night is sightseeing and shopping. Hahax
Really interesting to see how people drive and ride here in Shanghai. You hear people horn their vehicles here and there and yet they give way. Most of the people here who rides motorbikes do not wear helmets and Most of the road has a lane dedicated to Motorbikes and bicycles. Some times the traffic at the highway can be quite heavy and when it is you can see people along the side of the highway selling stuffs like shoes and sunglasses. Some even go around giving their name card. I dont know why but everyone around Shanghai I see so far rides a Kapchai, scooter type of bikes. Some even ride battery operated bicycles. I see some people tompang up to 4 people on their bikes! 2 adults 2 kids. Cool or what? Hahax
The temperature here is damn cold. When I arrived at Shanghai it was raining at 7 degrees. Was shivering big time. In the morning was still cold. When the cold wind blows... Hahax Took a walk around just now and it was Really cold for spring. 5 Degrees at night today. My feet and hands were numb when I got back to the hotel. Thank goodness inside the hotel is warm.
