Escape to Shanghai Day 1

Arrived at Terminal 3 .
All these years I have been dreaming,waiting for a vacation .
At last....my dream came true after 9 years....




All geared up for the trip.



Terminal 3 looks so classy



Here we go...
We are travelling by China Eastern.
It is known for its "Worst Airplane Experience".
However ,It did not live up to its expectation
The airplane is not as bad as what the critics says.
The food was alright.
They served a wide variety of drinks,eg Qingtao beer
The aircraft is also very clean.
The only problem is the plane is too small and is very crampy.
That is a trade off between cosiness and comfort









We thought we could have a good rest on the plane
Sadly,we are disturbed by ignorant freaks from SMU.
They keep hovering around the craft to look for empty seats
Instead of sitting down ,they squatted on their seats and chat among themselves like nobody business.
maybe its their first time taking a plane ride.
No wonder they behave like $%^$%^#$%$%



Shaun is struggling with 耳敏 while the plane is landing.

We reached Pudong airport.
I could feel a sense of austere.
The place is very quiet and i could see police everywhere.
Somehow I dont feel welcome by the communist country.
There is even a Big " QUIET" sign at the arrival area.
Why cant they be more polite?


This is car park that is directly opposite the airport.
It looks like an abandoned place .
This shows that Shanghai airport cant NEVER surpass Singapore.

We are welcomed by a chauffeur
Wow...so grand...we had our moment of being a rich man 's spoilt brat.
Jonice 's face reflects light.




We reached Shaun 's mum house.
She brought us to the nearby food store to have supper.
We ordered 老鸭面 and kwey tiao...
It tasted abit salty,but I liked it.

On the way home,the big umbrella is sheltering another food stall



This is Shaun 's mum apartment.
The void deck looks abit eerie,remind me of those haunted apartment in the Hong kong horror film.
but the interior layout of the apartment is different,
It is cosy and comfortable.
This is the end of the first day of my vacation.
Watch out for day 2
