WenZhou Trip

Arrived in WenZhou for a business trip early in the morning today. Wow, I can't believe that i was treated like a Queen when I'm there. On arrival, there was a VIP shutter just to fetch me to the VIP airport lobby where the driver was already waiting at the entrance. Oops, did I told you who's my client ? Well, he's the Director of China's Petroleum!

WenZhou lies in the middle section of China's golden coastline. Bordering on the East China Sea and standing by the Oujiang River. It is the economic, political and cultural as well as communication center of the southern part of Zhejiang Province.

Many people think of WenZhou, whose many small commodities such as shoes and lock are well known the world over, as a commercial city. Shops line its streets, and WenZhou people have such business acumen, they are popularly known as China's wheeler dealers.

We had our lunch in a very high-class Chinese Restaurant. Abalons, traditional snacks such as dumpling soup and sesame seed cake were served, and claypot fish which was cooked in front of you ! I was told WenZhou cuisine is one of the four noted cuisines of Zhejiang Province. Less oily and often uses yellow croaker fish, crab and squid as ingredients.

The Sleepless Shanghai

View taken from my bedroom's window


It's midnight now and I couldn't sleep. My room is freezing even I got my heater on. I took out my mobile phone and start shooting anything outside my window. It's snowing...

I am staying in an old service apartment at the end of DingXi Road, very near to ZhongShang Garden and 5 mins walk to MayFair Hotel. It's consider a crowded area beside Shanghai City center. The advantages staying here are: you can get almost everything here, walking distance to fast food restaurant like McDonald and KFC, Cantonese Restaurants, Shanghainese Restaurants, Italian Restaurants, shopping centers... It's great !

When midnight comes, it's very quiet, and what wake me up in the morning ? 6.30am, a group of elderly playing 'Tai Chi' using a radio and 7am, China's National Anthem ! I am staying in 18th floor, can you imagine that ?? :)

Ok, back to sleep...

It's snowing in Shanghai


Heavy snow

Photo taken outside my work-place. I left the office at around 8pm and waited for a cab for more than an hour! They are all occupied! Althought it's just a 15 mins walk from home.

I am trying to get a cab nearby... but the local seems more expert to jump in a cab quick!! So, my best option is: walk home! Strong wind, slippery road, traffic jam...by the time I reached home, it's 10pm ++. Had my shower and a good night sleep. What a bad day!

I love Japanese food


Set dinner

Normally we will go for Japanese buffet twice a month at XinHua Road near the place I work. It cost RMB150 per head. Four Seasons, a small restaurant in the middle of XinHua Road, just opposite LianHua Supermarket.

But the photos above was taken at another Japanese Restaurant nearby. RMB300 for a set dinner, quite expensive huh...
