5th July 2008 - Lunch in Shanghai 'Orchard Road'

We were outside our apartment on the way to meet Celine for lunch and saw this illegal rickshaw which can bring us to the MRT for RMB5. Pestered Sean to try this cos I dun wan to walk under this scorching sun all the way to the mrt.

Here we were, in the wooden shelter pulled by a motorised bicycle all the way to Century Park MRT. Quite an adventure cos no seat belts but only the driver as our 'cushion', in case of an accident. It was also quite a bumpy ride and warm ride, with hot wind blowing at our faces.

I have seen some of the residents in our condo used this form of transport. Seems very common here. Anyway, dun think will use this form of transportation again. This was just for the experience. I'll take the bus anytime.

Went to the "Orchard Road" of SHA to this restuarant called 糖潮 or Sugar Dynasty. Pretty good Hongkong food though a tad on the salty side. That's us after our very delish, filling meal. Let's see what Celine blogged abt our meeting at http://missybebe.blogspot.com/

Had a good chat over lunch and headed to our place to get DVDs for Celine. We are going to finished Two and a Half Men soon. So sad. It's such a hilarious sitcom. Gotta watch out if there are other sitcoms around.

Sent her back to her hotel. Luv the comfy bed with white sheets. As long as it's made of sateen cotten, 100% cotton or with more than 400 thread counts, its like lying down on clouds and will put smiles on Sean's and my faces when we zzz..

Wanted to ask Celine to get Straits Times, Her World and Shape magazine for me from Changi Airport. Missed English papers/magazines since coming to Shanghai.

Anyway, thanks for your copy of Her World, Celine. :)

Sean was like: Wah..Good, finally an english read and brought this into the toilet....
