CHINA experience

its been a while since i'm back from China and have not updated how the trip was. overall it was really an eye opener for me. Getting to see things i have never see in Singapore before and now i feel that Singapore is like not so high class after all in terms of technology.

I roam in China from Macau -> Zhu Hai -> Shan Tou -> Shen Zhen -> Zhu Hai -> Macau -> Singapore.

Though the stay in China was like 8 days, it was really an enjoyable trip. the best over at China was the roast goose meat and dim sum. the goose meat was not only cheap, but also tasty, delicious and full of fragrance but yet, its oily. when you're oversea, who cares about eating healthy? it was a "I WANT MORE OF IT" after you finish the piece in your mouth. it was that tasty.

the dim sum, so far compare to Singapore, lose until no horse run, (Bo bei zhao). there are dim sum wrap in seaweed?? (the green color paper vegetable??) and it was really nice! and talk about nice, their feelings were great too! big fat prawns were filled to the brim of the siew mai. dumplings were so freshly made and you just can't stop appreciating the freshness and tastyness of it.

Every country ought to have their very own local productions. so guess what's for china? local production = fake goods, and they're so good in it. and i as a foreigner, of course bought some of their local production back to Singapore. 2 Tag Heuer watch, 1 Omega watch, ( i'm wearing it), 1 gucci wallet, 1 Balley wallet, 1 Kappa slim sling pouch, 1 zippo lighter, 2 wind proof lighter, 2 LED torch light and 1 pair of hand craft keychain. See? and they're quite costly too even after hard bargaining with the people there.

the massage centres were great as well. and they are all pure doctors doing all these massaging for you. you don't have to tell them how terrible you were. you just tell them where does it hurts , and their finger will tell them how bad it was, and the doctors will ask you some questions. surprisingly, all the questions they ask, the answers all turn out to be yes.and guess what did the doctor that rub my back said?
"You're a sportsman huh? Your muscles are all so tough and tensed! You're overworking your muscles at your back!"
that's what the doctor said about my back, and my thighs. and all are correct. haha! and earning my money was not easy for him. i kinda pity him. RMB 25 for 1 hr back rub. if every china people back is like mine, so tough, i think he'll need a good full body rub soon or later.

We talk about food, product and massage. lastly i'll talk about tourist attractions. their tourist attractions were mainly their mountains and nothing much but at macau, i took the landmark of macau, the church of st paul. in chinese, (DA SAN PA). in direct translation to english, (BIG BITCH/GOSSIPER?)

sometimes when you read china's english, be prepared to get a shock of your life because here are some of the examples:

pay special notice the last 3rd word.

it reads: "CAREFUL WRESTLING" huh???
this is taken in a hotel.

so sometimes we didn't mean to laugh at them but their actions were really indeed funny as we know that they are trying the best to inform user.

Overall, China, Fun! i'm going back again!!! just dunno when! =( because i miss the weather. i'm going to go in cold weather!!!! hahaha!!! hope the next time i went, the temp will range from 14 to 19 deg celcius!! wootTTT!!!
