Shanghai Breakfast & Shanghai Oldtown

just finished my 2nd term final exam.. weeeeee.. XD so currently in my hometown now. feel so lazy. everyone seems busy, for exam, assignments and own stuff. Cny is just in two weeks time. so fast. i haven finish shop for cny! =( have you? ok stop the crap, gonna post about Shanghai Breakfast and Shanghai Oldtown.


slept at 11-ish and woke up at 7am in the morning (healthy!=p) after had our showers, walked down Tian Lin Rd towards the market which located about 3km from where we stay?


the road, so many cars, cabs, bikes and bicycles.

I definitely love Shanghai breakfast! u know why? because I can eat my favourite xiao long pao(小笼包)! the xiao long pao in Dragon-i cost approximately RM10 for four small biji. but in Shanghai, 6 biji-s for RMB3 and 12biji-s for RMB5... cheap cheap cheap! where can u find such cheap and delicious xiao long pao in Malaysia?

the market

田林第一鸭包子, they sell various type of pao. mei thought that they really selling duck pao due to the name. haha then both of us went queued up for it. but end up the ppl shaked his head when mei asked him is duck pao available. haha! and another miss stood aside and laughed us. -________-
so we bought 2 pao-s. and just cost us RMB1. mean about RM0.50 for 2 pao-s! uhh.

groceries

xiao long pao, dumplings and siu mai! hehe
what we bought for breakfast. 小笼包，锅贴，肉包， 葱油饼，鸡蛋饼，豆奶水.. all these are less than RM20. we cant even finish everything!! and full till unable to move. =(

yes, i love the xiao long pao, i asked them to wake up early everyday to accompany me to the market but got rejected everyday! ish.. and until 9th day, they went with me *grins*
someone took this when i was crossing the dangerous road with my xiao long pao.. hehe. prove my love for xiao long pao. hahaha. oh ya, i used the word 'dangerous' for the roads in shanghai because the vehicles don't really follow the rules, they do not even care about the traffic lights especially the cabs. -_____-


after that, we took a break after had our breakfast as all of us couldn't move already. haha. then, we went down to catch a cab at around 11-ish to go Fabric Market, Shanghai Oldtown and Yu Garden.


This is Shanghai Oldtown(上海老街)and it's really old..

this little girl is cute. not sure what was she doing there.

look at the buildings. o-l-d

the police cars.
and then we headed to Yu Garden(豫园) after Shanghai Oldtown. it was just walking distance to reach there. =)


till here, stay tune for Yu Garden post =)

Maglev Train, ShangHai

as i mentioned in the previous post. i will bring you to somewhere. yeaa.. u can know from title of this post. That's Maglev Train or Shanghai Transrapid or 上海磁浮示范运营线.. It is a form of rail transport that works using magnetic levitation.

According to wikipedia,
The line runs from Longyang Road station in Pudong, on the Shanghai subway line 2 to Pudong International Airport. The journey takes 7 minutes and 20 seconds to complete the distance of 30 km. A train can reach 350 km/h (220 mph) in 2 minutes, with the maximum normal operation speed of 431 km/h (268 mph) reached thereafter.

I was so excited bout this Maglev train few weeks before I get the chance to feel the speed of 431km/h .. been mumbling non stop during the journey =p aha! sorrrrry to someone. hehe.

a one-way ticket cost RMB50, but you can get RMB40 if you flash your receipt of airline ticket to the receptionists.. cheap huh? someone told me that it's soooo much cheaper than Japan's bullet train.


this pic taken from wikipedia as well. because that time we were in a rush, so didnt get to take much pics of Maglev Train.
pictures below taken with my camera.

this is the ticket for you to board Maglev Train. It is operated by Shanghai Maglev Transportation Development Co., Ltd.
the seats

you can see how fast it goes while sitting. I started taking pic from 215km/h.

279km/h

and it reaches 405km/h! excited~

and yeah! 430km/h, i didnt take the 431km/h one. hehe.

i quickly snapped this and went down to the escalator already. =X

and last. the very-not-enough-sleep me in the Maglev. =D

After 7 minutes ++, we reached Long Yang Road Station and took a cab to Tian Lin Road. =) weather was ok for the first day.
