Morning call again at 630am. Again my parents woke up very early, ard 5am, when the sun rises. Again finished packing and left our lugguages outside the door and went for breakfast at 7am, gather at 8am.

Had half an hour ride to 莫愁湖。。。又上了一堂历史课 abt 朱元璋's history and the past emperors of 南京。Why 南京 is called 南京 is becos in olden days whenever the emperors stayed at a place, they will called it 京城。。。The emperor stayed in the South, so they called the place 南京。。。 Anyway, the place is like a wax museum, which had all the wax figurines of the past emperors, all so life-like... There was even one emperor who was a kid. of cos i dun remeber their names. i only noe one of them is 朱元璋。。。

Anyway, took some fotos of the scenery then we left after 45mins. I dropped my spec's lens while taking foto. Was so heart broken...Cant see clearly after tat...

Then we went to 玉石鉴赏 - 南京旅游国际购物中心 to 'see' jade at 10am... 吴老师 told us how to look out for a good jade. Jade can scratch a piece of glass with scratching the jade itself. Not all jade haf to be very green, that is good... Jade haf to wear it on left hand cos its closer to the heart. Wearing it as a necklace, put it inside of the clothes, near the chest, not showing it out. Wearing a good jade will improve one's health, likewise a bad one will not do any good and maybe will make the person's health worse...

吴老师 told the salesgal to explain and show us some good jade and some fake ones, the let us differentiate what is good, what is fake... After, some explaining, then she took out some of the jade bangles for us to see. My mum at the same time took out her bangle to let her see if its good anot, and she said that was a bad jade, long term wearing it, wont do any good. Then she took out some nice ones for her to see... Then she even quote one bangle at RMB15K. OMG, so ex?? We tried to bargain, but too no avail. So we jus walked away.

Then she took out another abit lower grade one, priced at RMB1200, still so ex... Then, my dad told her, we r not interested. She keep pestering them. And told us to offer another lower price. Then my dad told her RMB400, take it or leave it. Then we walked away. We quickly went away and tried to go somewer, but the gal was reali persistent. We keep telling her we dun wan to buy, but she kept chasing us. She brought her manager along who say the lowest they can offer is RMB400, told us to buy it. Its a good deal, worth the buy, cos the jade is reali of good grade. Even the 吴老师 oso said its a good buy. But my mum din wan it anymore liao.

After that, we proceeded to the 2nd level for lunch at a restaurant in the same building. When we came out of the restaurant, the gal keep chasing us again, telling us to buy. But my mum rali din wan it anymore, so she oso bo bian went away until we went up the bus. After lunch we bid goodbye to 吴老师 and we continue our journey to 无锡 for another 3hrs ride again.

Reach 无锡 电影城 三国城 at 3pm. Met up wif another 地陪，小万。他姓万，所以叫他小万。。。He said Nicholas jus came to film a movie there 2 days ago. The stage and props all still there... Anyway, its something like 唐城 again. Jus another fake 'palace'. Not the real thing.

Then watched a live performance, abt 三国演义，有曹操，赵国，etc, acting out the war scene... Was quite funny, wif real hoses and 'army' fully dressed in armour clothing. Was reali hot weather, but they dun seems to be hot. haha... The show was quite not bad... Quite interesting. Was tinking Nick will like this show man!

After that, went for a boat ride at 无锡太湖。太湖 was reali big, wif a surface area of more than i tink 8 times of Singapore. So the boat ride was abt 20mins.

After touring the 无锡 电影城 三国城, we went to 无锡 紫砂艺术博览苑 to buy 紫砂壶 。 jus ard the corner of 太湖 at ard 530pm... this is the so-called 紫砂 museum, With alot of 紫砂壶, all kinds of designs and patterns and prices aren't cheap oso. Dad bought a few sets cos he was reali looking forward to buy a good 紫砂壶。

After visit the museum, we went for dinner ard 7pm, then 小万 brought us to their shopping center, to shop. Parkson Grand, the same one in JB. Whats the difference? Nothing much oso. Prices arent cheap oso. 小万 oso said some of the things are even more ex than we buy in over here. Then why he brought us there?? Dunnoe...

Anyway, gathered at 9pm after 1hrs' free time, we went back to hotel. Managed to find a spectacle shop ard there and fixed back my lens. Hotel was aother 1hrs ride again... ;(
