Weird

Absurd things happen when I was with Roger. We left Frangipani Bar at about 11:45p.m. and were waiting for taxi at a traffic junction.

The light turned red and a car stopped beside us. The driver of that car signalled to us in a sexually inviting way to hop onto his backseat.

He's crazy...... of course we didnt. I boarded a taxi and left...

Eddy's Bar

Ok so I went swimming again. And again, swimming in Shanghai is so damm expensive and troublesome! I took a cab from 浦东area, and it took me almost 45mins to reach the pool because of a massive traffic jam in 隧道三线.

6 lanes converged into a 2-lane 隧道三线. Very poor road planning! The taxi fare added up to RMB50! I can purchase a train ticket to 南京 with this amount of money!

Not to mention, the entrance fee to the pool is RMB30, a health check card is RMB5 and a swimming cap which the counter staff insisted that I buy cost RMB20!


I ended up meeting Eric(1) at 725pm, when I'm suppose to meet him at 7pm. The swim was pretty good though. The pool wasn't too crowded. And I bump into Watson at the shower area again haha...
After swimming, I invited Eric(1) to join me and Eric(2) at Eddy's bar, but he didn't want to. So Eric(1) drove me to Eddy's and he went home. Eddy was nice. In fact, the decor is much much nicer than Frangipani bar. Eddy has lots of nice chinese paintings and wooden carvings.
But I thought Frangipani feels more cosy and homely. The waiters at frangipani are friendlier too. And Shanghai studio is just across the street from Eddy's. Next time can bar hop.

周庄

Zhou Zhuang, built in 1086, houses numerous buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. A national treasure, this water town is rated an AAAAA tourist attraction in China, and it is in the reserve list for the world cultural heritage.

















I felt the entrance fee at Rmb1oo was a little too steep though. Oh well... Deep charges Rmb100 last Saturday night for entry too...
