On my flight to Shanghai I saw this air stewardess who have a very sian look on her face, and when she was demostrating how to put on the life jacket it was so obvious that she was not interested in serving us... Later during breakfast, she asked my mother: "You want a western style breakfast or eastern style?" So my mum asked what was for western, and she said: "Noodles, eggs..." When asked what was for eastern, the answer was again: "Noodles, eggs..." So my mother was confused, and looked at her... Now she got irritated, and raising her voice, said again: "Noodles, eggs..." Luckily my mum finally understood her and asked for noodles, or else, maybe something nasty will happen...

First day in China, and already feeling not used to the place alr... Nearly lost my way in Shanghai... Looking at all the various slogons make me feel out of place in this place, like, lost your way in your supposed to be own home... Some more I felt that the years of orderly life in Singapore are being disrupted by the disorganisation in China, like I never have a problem with crossing a road at a traffic light, but here the cars will fight with you to cross... Constantly on the lookout for traffic, bicycles etc...

In Su Zhou now, just finished the designated route for today... Su Zhou give me the feeling of being more organised than Shanghai, and the environment here is less pressurising than that of Shanghai... Generally it gives a feeling of relaxation... Tmr continuing to Hang Zhou... Looking forward to a great day at The West Lake... Hope I can find another place to update tmr...
