←上海 - 城隍廟
This is a nice place, which is mostly for tourists. There are souvenir shops and restaurants. All of the following food are from the 城隍廟 area.
←上海 - 小陸包
Tasty 小陸包! I think we ate too much though, we were stuff.
←上海 - 寧波湯圓
We tried the one with Meat & Crab. I found it a little oily though. I still prefer sweet ones better.
←上海 - 上海湯麵
We tried the seafood noodle. I was already too full to eat, but the noodle was good. I always liked noodles though.
← 烏鎮
I like 烏鎮 (WuZhen). It’s an old town with lots of heritage. Even though you have to pay entrance fee, there are people that lives in there. Tourists will be walking pass and people will be having lunch or playing mahjong. I think it’s very funny; real unusual and interesting. There are cloth dying and weaving inside, as well as, a wine making store. Too bad it was raining that day. If I have a chance, I would want to visit 蘇州 (SuZhou) and go to 烏鎮 again.
←This is a bridge in 烏鎮. If you walk on the left side, it means you will 陞官 and the right side means you will 發財. All of us walked on the right side.
←This is in 烏鎮 as well. We took the boat and went down the river. This is actually where 《我家有一隻河東獅》 was filmed.
←上海 - 宋慶齡紀念管
This is the memorial for Suen Yat Sun’s wife. They don’t allow pictures in the museum or the house though.
←上海 - 黃浦公園
A long time ago, this garden has a signage that says, "Chinese and Dogs Prohibited". Too bad the garden was being renovated so we couldn’t get in.
←上海 - 東方明珠塔
The sky was a little foggy, but the scene was really nice.
←杭州 - 西湖
It was a nice walk along 西湖 (XiHu). The weather and the environment was great.

← 寧波 - 七塔寺
We didn’t spend much time in 寧波 (NingBo) and only went to 七塔寺. The statues in the temple is very nice; too bad we are not allow to take pictures.
← 紹興 - 八字橋
← This is located in 紹興 (ShaoXing) too. It is an old-style restaurant that sells Rice Wine and Stinky Tofu. I didn’t try the wine, but I did try the Stinky Tofu. It was alright, but the whole place stinks up from the tofu. As for the wine, just by smelling it, you can tell it is very strong.
← This is an old street in 紹興. There are tricycles that you can ride to go down the street. However, when our tour guide was asking for the rides, they raised the price, therefore, we ended up not riding them. The walk down the street was short though, and probably more pleasant since you get to see more things.
← 杭州 - 宋城
We arrived in 杭州 at night. We watched a show called 《宋城千古情》. It was a big production and worth watching. We had good seats too.
Went to Guangdong, China today. I always had a bias opinion of China, not a place I will go to if I have a choice. Since it’s my dad’s b-day and he wanted to go, I thought I will just follow along. Well, my opinion hasn’t change; I still don’t like China. They have this big underground mall but not a place I will buy clothes at. It will be alright to buy slippers, which is what I bought. Then we had dinner there. We went to a restaurant call ‘Jin Yue Xian’ which was quite good. I don’t mind eating in China. The restaurant’s environment was quite good and the service was great. It wasn’t cheap though, comparing to China’s standard, but reasonable. Four of us went and the total came to approx. $320. The most expensive thing was the soup, which cost $118, but it tasted good. I don’t think I will go to Guangdong again in the near future. Going there maybe once or twice a year would be more than enough for me.
I am going to Shanghai on the 25th! Just booked the tour today, so exciting. I will be there for four days and hopefully have some nice pictures to bring back. The tour includes going to HangZhou & NingBo. Then I will be going to Taipei on the 5th of June, and will be booking that on Monday. I should stay there for at least two months, if I find a job, the stay will be longer. So happy. Hopefully I will get to see and learn a lot of new things.
今年的生日過得好平淡﹐只和家人吃晚飯﹐沒有蛋糕沒有禮物（但有紅包）﹐不過覺得蠻開心的。雖然跟我的朋友分開很遠﹐但很開心他們沒有忘記我的生日。有個朋友寄了一張e-card給我﹐我很喜歡﹐很有意思。另外一個朋友打了一通電話給我﹐可能不是一件大事﹐但我依然覺得很開心。突然覺得我們好近﹐完全沒有距離﹐好像在多倫多的時候。還有今天做了一個決定﹐一個我很希望我可以堅持的決定。我知道很多人一定會支持我的。我要加油﹗
Went to HK today. First, went to Festival Walk and met up with Steph. Had lunch at Spaghetti House, but the food wasn’t that good. Then just walked around and end up buying 王菀之’s CD. It finally came out today, long awaited. In the afternoon, we watched the movie 《早熟》with 房祖名 & 薛凱琪. It was really good, one of the better Chinese movies in recent years. It was funny and touching; some people were crying and I almost did too. I really recommend everyone to watch it. After that, went to Mongkok for dinner at a all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant with Angela. The food was ok, can’t compare with Toronto though. After dinner, went to Langham Place to meet up with Alan Lee and then walked around Mongkok. I am not a big fan of Mongkok, but going there at night was way better. I really enjoy life in HK, it’s just so much more exciting. Overall, today was fun. I haven’t seen so many friends in days and being able to spend today with 3 friends were great.
I think this book has just too much information in it. It is like a research paper, thus, not too good a book to read. It’s not that the book is not good, it’s just not my type of book. Malcolm Gladwell had also written "Blink", which I haven’t had a chance to finish. Both books are similar, in the way it is structured. This book is interesting and is helpful for people in business and marketing. There is just too much information to absorb and too many points presented. It is not recommended for leisure reading, but there are a lot you can learn from this book. Overall, this is a good book for the reason it is written and I recommend people in business to read it.
順時針 梁詠琪
淋過雨的空氣 疲倦了的傷心
靜靜收起的傘底 淚的痕跡漸漸退去
我一個人鼓起勇氣 跟著時鐘一格一格的前進
推開窗等待陽光 等待著清醒
* 我記憶裡的童話 已經慢慢的溶化 愛不是這樣
而你偷走我的時間 曾說過的誓言 你還在乎嗎
我不想孤單的坐在回憶裡逞強 時間回不到最開始的地方
只想這樣吹著風 慢慢順時針遺忘
我一個人應該可以 想起愛過之前原來的自己
或許那樣的天真我已經回不去
也許我懂得寂寞比相愛容易
Repeat *
已經慢慢的溶化 愛不是這樣
而你偷走我的時間 曾說過的誓言 你還在乎嗎
我不想孤單的坐在回憶裡逞強 時間回不到最開始的地方
只想這樣吹著風 慢慢順時針遺忘
等到明天繼續放晴 幾乎忘記下過了雨
愛在心底留的簽名 總會慢慢退去
