Shanghai was great! We took a flight on AirAsia to Hangzhou then a 45mins ride on the bullet train to Shanghai. It was totally the opposite of what I would thought it would be. As I thought the place would be really dirty with open toilets and the food sucks! But much to my surprise, the food's there awesome! And the toilets had locks. LOL! The only problem we had when we were there was none of us could really speak Mandarin except for a few simple words. Like seriously, just by giving directions to the taxi driver could get us all frustrated. Since we were already in Shanghai, I insisted in having as many steamed dumplings, aka "xiao long bao" as I could. We have it every single day, in search for the best one, which we found in Yu Garden. Somehow, the dumpling skin over there is much thicker compared to the ones we have in Dragon-i. Hmmmm, I wonder why.

Won't be posting up much pictures as the weather there was cooler than what I estimated it to be. Whole trip, the temperature was around 2-8degrees. Could barely put my hands out of my pocket, even with the gloves on. :P

I'm glad that the boyfie could be part of this trip. Glad to see him getting along real well with my parents and my brother. :) The trip was so much more interesting with him around. Our very first trip overseas. More to come definitely!

Greatest love of all, ma family. :) Taken at Yu Garden.
