off the beaten track

Shanghai is growing on me, just after my first day here after more than a year. The city has changed so much, one would have thought that economic progression would be gradual but this city has really grown and developed. All the malls that have sprung up - so much is incredible I don't even know where to begin. The food, the people, the everything.

On my first day here, I met up with many people at the office. Shan't blog about work but it's been very interesting, and informative to say the least. Lunch was great - thanks to MZ. And I bought quite a few things I've come here to buy...tea, a silk quilt at RMB 400. One down jacket and shirt at a steal. Have also gone to the tailor. Yes, all these in a day when I'm also out at work.
Moving on, can't believe 3 sticks of snacks (also known as 小吃) + a bottle of mineral water + a can of lemon beer from 7-11 only cost RMB 10 (SGD 2).


I'm sipping the lemon beer then off to bed :)

Now that work's out of the way, it's free and easy for the next 2.5 days...
