After spending an entire week in Suzhou and visiting the famed 园林, I was desperate to get to shanghai. Tickets to shanghai were very limited since most people were rushing home at the end of the long weekend holidays. In the end bought the 66 yuan sleeper ticket instead of the 22 yuan hard seat ticket, I am THAT desperate to get out.
The ride to PVG was pleasant and picturesque though the I did not lie down on the sleeper bed which I suspect is infested with bed bugs (hopefully I am wrong!). Conversation was long and very much needed given the situation. managed to verabalise most thoughts and it was good to talk and listen.
As soon as we alighted from the train, it was business as usual for us. went to 南京路步行街, ventured into the shopping centres that we visited last year and ate the delicious 生煎包. Popped over to 新天地 to check out the Y-3 boutique only to find that it has relocated. So we settle for dinner at a nice Italian restaurant before taking another train back to Suzhou. The return trip was WORSE cos the air-conditioning was almost inexistent and people were seated shoulder-to-shoulder. At one of the stations, a mother and child sat opposite us, took out half a watermelon and happily helped themselves to it, LOL.
What irked me a little was "huh, we came here before meh?"
