A busy weekend
This weekend has been one of the busiest I had in Shanghai.
On Friday night, I went to the Shanghai Drama Centre for a local drama. My colleague had a pair of free tickets and so I got a free deal! Not only was I seated in the first row, after the show, each audience recieved a 50RMB Haagan Daaz voucher! Of course, the drama was funny and enjoyable too. The evening extended when my colleague brought me to her favourie cafe. It was so beautiful and cozy. Unfortunately, I did not bring my camera, only managed to snap some shots using my camera phone. I will definitely go back again. Maybe in my next entry!
On Saturday, I decided to explore the city area in Shanghai. So, I picked up my sunglasses (finally, we have sunlight in Shanghai!) and the tourist map, and was ready to go! I went to Coffee Beans & Tea Leaves at Xintiandi, had my daily dose of caffeine until 1p.m. Then, I met up with some friends and we had lunch at a cantonese restaurant. At 2.30p.m. we started our 4-hour walk along Huaihai Road to Yu Yuan. Afterwhich, we had a quick dinner at MacDonald's and took a cab to The Bund at Pudong.
The Bund at Pudong is more developed and urbanized than its counterpart in Puxi (which is under reconstruction now). There are restaurants and cafes which give very beautiful bund views. If you choose outdoor seats, you get to enjoy both the view and the cool breeze.
We ended the evening at Hyatt. We wanted to visit Cloud 9, the famous pub in Shanghai, which is on the 87th floor. However, we changed our mind later as it was a foggy night and the view would be obstucted. We went to a cafe at the 54th floor instead. The view was fantastic there!
I was so tired on sunday that I slept till 10a.m. (which is rare, as I always wake up by 8a.m). Esther was up and ready, she wanted to go shopping! So, she dragged me out of the house and we went to UBC cafe for brunch, I had a Longan Milk Tea there. Very sweet and nourishing! After that, Esther went shopping and I went home to type this blog entry :>
