Backtrack

Now that I am in HONG KONG (loving it!) and finally have my Macbook Pro fixed I feel that I should just inundate you all with another dose of touristy narcissism on my last few weeks in China (shanghai) so I don't forget.



SHANGHAI:

A picture taken during the "light show tunnel ride" that Calista and I took from PuXi to Pudong. It is as tacky as all the reviews say it is- but it's still a must do- especially if you could get a carriage all to yourself so you can snigger together. (We took the metro on the way back but).

 Me + Expo.

At the observation desk of the Middle Bauble of the Oriental Pearl Tower. I always laugh at this photo. It actually was really scary to walk on the glass- my knees were shaky the whole time!

A self-love photo I took with my AWESOME lollipop while I waited for Calista to get ready one night in Shanghai.

Calista and I after a few too many drinks in front of Barbarossa. This place is seriously so beautiful! It's a Moroccan themed bar with Shisha pipes etc and divans for you to lounge on in all your glamour. It is  located on a beautiful lake in the middle of People's Park. I really wish there were places like this in Australia. And most importantly, Wednesday night is Ladies night so you get free drinks all night on the rooftop level if you are of the female variety.  Very popular with trendy locals and westerners.

Calista and I decided it'd be a great idea to Karaoke-it-up after we got nice and sloshed from Ladies Night at Barbarossa. It was really cheap + fun.



- The Insect and Bird Market, Shanghai (Sophia made me go! Just the name made my skin crawl)

There were sooo many different types of turtles. I had no idea there was more than one type of turtle. Oh the ignorance!

I was shuddering the whole time that I walked past this. They are like some sort of worm/centipede...not sure I didnt want to get too close in case it overturned onto me.

I still don't know why people would want to keep crickets, grasshoppers or locusts as pets. But apparently they do. You can get these disgustting critters in a variety of sizes. (P.S. they ARE alive)

The Bund + The Huangpu River Tour

Backdrop: Pudong

Backdrop: Puxi- The Bund. I love love love the old colonial buildings- especially at night.

The view from our side (PuXi- The Bund)

Us on our river cruise.



That's all I really have time for now. Need to walk down Hollywood Road+ Soho Road with Beth and try and find a place to cut my hair.
(EDIT: really sad about my hair. It turned out way too light- I need to make another trip back to get it the right colour >.<).

Lan Kwai Fong last night was incredibly fun too (and it wasnt even Ladies night). I will update with those stories later.
