Shanghai Roundup

Whoa, it has been a long time since my last update! However, that's not to say I've forgotten about this blog. So much has already happened in 2009 that it has been hard to update.

My domain name is currently a misnomer, as I am now in Hong Kong. I'll be here for a month or so, just visiting some relatives and enjoying the decadence of living in a "westernized" society. And then... I'm not sure how things will pan out. Lets just say that my current job situation is "complicated."

For those in the know, "Helga" came to visit me for a few days in Shanghai, before both of us left for HK. She's with her relatives now, and I'm with mine. However, I think the places we visited during the roughly 5 days we had together in Shanghai cover all the essential sights and our itinerary provides a good guideline for future visitors who are shopping-oriented:

01/08 - Bullet train from airport to Shanghai
01/09 - Nanpu Bridge Tailor Market, West Nanjiing Road (including fake market), People's Square, Teppanyaki
01/10 - Yu Garden, East Nanjing Road, the Bund, Rubble Street Cafe
01/11 - Tailor Market (again), SCF, Dong Bei Ren (restaurant serving cuisine from Northern China)
01/12 - Science & Technology (market in the subway area), Jinmao Tower, Pearl Tower (Shanghai History Museum in the basement), Tailor Market (last time!)

Take care everybody.

Is there anything like Hui Lau Shan in Shanghai? If not, make the most of your time in HK!

(actually, what I really want is HLS in Vancouver.)
