Woah...I've prob been for leisure travelling more times in the past 2 months than prob anybody else I know...but hey!! Who's complaining? Certainly not me!!
21-28 Sept 06
(Above pic in Shanghai courtesy of my trusty K800i...neglected to get batts for my cam in SG...ended up couldn't find batts in China so for the first day depended on my K800i...不错吧?!!!)
Landed at Shanghai Pudong airport (can't rem what time leh...but I believe it was before 9am)...had breakfast in one of the hotels...and then went to Nanjing Road for a walk...most of the shops weren't open yet...so we only got to walk up and down the street...
We also strolled along Shanghai's 外滩...and saw 东方明珠 in the daylight...nothing impressive...wait till you see it at night!! Ta-da!!

We set off for Suzhou in the afternoon...bus journey took bout 2+ hours...and visited the silk factory...原来the silk worms only have a lifespan of 60 days!! After they reproduce...they will die...
This is the factory where the silk cacoons have their silk extracted by machines.

This is Kangxi's seal...
