After I got back from my vacation from Borocay, I had to work a 3 week camp. After that was over, I had a week off before having to go back to school, so I decided to book a trip to Shanghai, China for my boyfriend's birthday. We went for 5 days. We went to the Pearl Tower, the Aquarium, temples and different areas of the city. The one big thing to do in Shanghai was shopping! They have certain markets you can go to where you can find really good quality knock-offs for a really cheap. The vendor will give you a price and you can bargain up to 80% off the price they originally gave you. Let's just say, my boyfriend and I came back to Seoul with an extra duffle bag full of clothes and accessories...haha.
Did I mention how delicious the food was? They serve pancakes on the streets cooked with egg and roll it up with crispy strips and spread a delicious savoury sauce on it. The steamed dumplings were amazing as well, but you have to eat then carefully; biting the top off first, blowing on it, then pop them in your mouth.. Otherwise you'll end up biting into it and squirting someone across the room. Of course, I had to have the Chinese Dim Sum at an amazing restaurant where Forest Whitaker walked by our table and said hi to us. Bonus eh?
