Blank Thoughts

i'm back from shanghai over the chinese new year. and 3 days into work already.

and i'm blardy ill.

i'm coughing my lungs out when the moon comes up, and today, i exploded with water in the toilet cubicle. if i ate something wrong in shanghai, and my body only reacted today - 3 days after i returned, there must be something definitely wrong to start with.

there's so much to say about my stay in shanghai.

but it all came out in the toilet today.

all i could say is:

1) the people there shove and push like it's rush hour every minute. doesn't matter that they're armed with joss sticks. they burn you with them. and scatter ash on you. which brings me to...

2) they don't respect their sacred grounds at all. rubbish everywhere in the temple, joss sticks thrown on the floor to burn, light their joss sticks from the fire on the ground, and they spit. you wonder why do they even bother to pay money to enter the temple to pray to the gods. yes, you gotta pay to get in. so you wonder, where do all that blardy money go to.

3) their service is freaking bad.

4) you can bargain just about anything. even for the bill for the meal at a restaurant.

5) you can bargain up to 1/3 or 1/4 of the price they quote.

6) their food can be really salty and oily.

7) but have some nice food though. like, bing tang hu lu or bing tang chao mei. basically fruits coated with a thin layer of sugar coating. YUM.

8) the people there have absolutely flawless and beautiful skin.

9) the children there are really cute, wrapped up like dumplings and tottering around with flushed red cheeks.

10) the city is almost a photocopy of Singapore.

11) the city is really beautifully litted up. exorbitant electrical bills.

12) i hate freaking cold weathers. so damn cold and yet no snow.

..gotta rush to toilet!
