Ni hao~ Part Four!

June 8th, 2010

So, my 'babysitter' (ahha!) for Shanghai, Brian, has the whole week off from work, since they're still setting up things for the new Apple stores in Shanghai! So, he was nice enough to give me a tour of Shanghai!
This photo is from the Bund, which is basically where the new (Pudong side) and old parts of Shanghai are both visible right on the Huangpu River. Brian and I are standing on the old side, with the Pudong side (notable by the TALL skyscrapers, as well as the Pearl TV Tower).

Some highlights from the day...

1. Yuyuan Gardens - really, it's a tourist trap, but, it's nice for pictures anyway~

2. Some things never change... including creepy birds that you find in alleys that say 'hi' to you, Well... this one said "Ni Hao!"

3. A tribute for my fortune-cookie-loving boyfriend~

4. This LG Washing Machine advertisement that I found in the metro station...
SO! I'm guessing... that this washing machine is:
1. User friendly for women, woo hoo!
2. SO calm, that you can balance a tower of cards on it (haha, ALEX!)
3. SO effective, that... see that lady, how she's just so carelessly drinking a cup of coffee/tea in a WHITE dress? She's not worried about spilling, since... (hoho!) if that were to happen, the washing machine's got her back, right?

oh... Advertising... :)

  2. haha, yeah, too bad I didn't buy the fortune cookies for you! Although, I found those cool cans of cookies in the lobby area of the really-tall-bottle-opener-looking building in Pudong, so... I be they were overpriced! :P
    We need to find a recipe for those, btw.. ahah!
