ok, so today was the last day of the trip, and right now we're in shanghai. a bunch of us were supposed to stay at this hostel here, but when we tried to book it, it was all full. so yuxiang, with all his connections (he's so popular here :P), hooked us up at an awesome hotel - the metropolis hotel. it's right next to the Bund here.. and very close to Nanjing road (really famous shopping street) and yeah, in the middle of downtown. haha, there was one catch though. we had to say we were interns for a software company in california named Futureway. OK, so, today, luke, lauren and i just walked around everywhere and just got to know the city a bit. tomorrow, we'll have a full day, but we havne't planned it all out yet.
and.. i think when i go to beijing, i'm going to go on my own.. 'cause after these past 3 and a half weeks, i need some alone time. it'll be an interesting 2-3 days :p
oh, btw, for those of you who are asking if i started to pick up chinese... well, my chinese friends here have really been trying to teach me chinese. and back in the first week of the course, one of my chinese friends - eunice - actually bought me a book to help me learn mandarin :P the book was kind of hard to learn from (had really random phrases such as "Hi, i'm part of the friendship tour to china"), so today, i bought a Lonely Planet phrase guide. ok, so that's it for now.
