乌镇 is actuali a town, near 上海。。 不明肆意，乌镇水乡当然有水，有河。就像 Venice. 乌镇就像 those 村庄 we normally see on tv, where they haf small houses side by side, got shops, medical halls and even those ancient fire stations. One of the bigger houses, 民俗馆 showcased the tradition marriage in olden days, 拜堂，媒婆，轿子，娉礼。Another room showing a whole table of offerings for praying. Another house 百床馆 showing wif different patterns of the wooden beds from the different dynasties. The designs of the surrounding borders of 床边 were craved with figures and bamboo, which took 3yrs for the craftsman to complete. Its was reali very 精致。http://www.wuzhen.com.cn/xny/jnbcg/bcg_index.htm

Another side of the street, they haf 染布坊，mini manufacturing factories for weaving of cloths, dyeing of cloths and printing designs on cloths. There was an old auntie sitting there weaving the strings to cloth using the old methods, pulling and pulling the wooden rack. A space for hanging all the dyed cloths. A room printing flowers onto the cloths. A shop selling all the woven products.

We left 乌镇 for lunch at 12 noon. We continued our journey to 上海 at 1245pm, another 2hrs ride. Reached 上海 宋庆龄陵园 at 3pm. Visited 宋庆玲 的坟墓。No photo taking allowed. Jus went in and see see only. Was a very solemn place. Abit eerie, cos the ppl there in charge said the place was the only place in 上海 which is always very cooling throughout the year.

After that, the lady who showed us around brought us into a 2 or 3 storey bulding, where another 风水师傅 took over. He was telling us abit the 风水 buildings in Asia, including the HSBC bulding in Shenton way, the Bank of China in Singapore, Shenton way oso... All the structures of these kinds of banks were constructed according to the 风水, not jus becos they look nice! Well, this is interesting.

Did u ever realised outside Bank of China in Shenton Way, they placed a lion-like creature? The 师傅 said this 貔貅 (Pi-Xiu) is symbolising China and is there to 振风水。。 Major cities of China, they placed 貔貅 for the same reason. 貔貅 is a lion wif wings, wif big opening mouth, big butt but no asshole. So it symbolises got input no output, for fortune. 钱财有进没出，才能守财。。。

The 师傅 then brought us to 2nd level, to see the 风水 摆设 for home and individual. After that, he said we can feel free to take a look at the stuff. Dad, Mum and i were seated in front together wif the Taiwan family. Tink he oredi aim us liao, so once we stood up, he quickly took out a small 貔貅, saying this is suitable for me. i can 把它请回去！师傅说只可以说用请，不是买！应为跟貔貅有缘才能请，没缘是不能请的。他拿给我的是只貔貅抱着一粒球，他说这是“有求必应”。He immediately quote us SGD $180, not in RMB. Cannot 杀价，cos the contributions will go into 宋庆龄基金会, not their own benefits. The sales lady said its a good buy, cos the jade is of good quality, very 剔透。

听他这么说，oso quite tempting lor. So we actuali bought it! OMG, come and tink back, it was reali ex, cos i reali regret it after we came back from China. Mum and Dad oso each bought a piece of jade 貔貅, costing RMB100 each. I bought one for Nick too, according to his 生肖。The Indonesian family bought even more, they bought the big ones for putting in the house. Very 夸张！

After that, we went to 上海外滩的附近餐馆 for our dinner at 5pm. After dinner, 小董 brought us the see the scenery of 上海外滩, dropped us at 浦江游览 for a 'ship' ride. The 周围的建筑都很 English, olden types. Jus like those we see in TV. The 船游黄浦江 was at 7pm to 8pm. 小董 only brought us to board the ship, he din came up.

It was only until we came up, then we realise we still haf to pay for our seats (RMB60) if we wan to sit at the side of the ship, if not we can only sit in the middle, ehcih we tink cant see anything lor. So Uncle Huat paid for the table which can only accomodate for 4, but he bargained and 5 of us can squeeze in. We sat there for a long time waiting excitedly for the ship to go. It goes round the whole 外滩 , showing us the beautiful scenery of 上海 buildings. Can even see 东方明珠塔 from there. Other than the misty weather, the scenery was reali very beautiful. As the ship goes, some of the buildings only the bottom half can see only. The top part is covered in the mist, somehow looks like only there is only half of it.

Then we received an sms from my sis, Jiayan that she lost her fone, askin us not to call her and she will only reach 上海 from 昆山at 11pm. Her handphone was pickpocketed. We were quite worried abt her, but there's nothing we can do over here, except to wait for her call. She was supposed to meet us at our hotel at 8pm, wer her train was at 6pm. On her way to train station, after alighting from the bus, she realised her pocket wer she put her fone, had oredi been cut, wif a big slit. Other than that, nothing is lost. So she went back to report police, jus to claim back insurance here. So she changed her train tickets to the later train at 10pm lor.

After the ship ride, 小董 gave us a half hr free time to walk round the place. The 外滩 shore, is something like the outside of Esplanade, wer ppl could jus sit there and enjoy the breeze, but here in 上海, can only lean at the side, enjoyin the scenery.

We reached hotel at 9pm. After bath and some packing, Dad and mum went to the train station to wait for Jiayan at 1030pm. Cos Jiayan called us using her fren's fone and telling us to wait for her at the train station. So i stayed in hotel, waiting for her as well, jus in case she din see dad & mum at the station, we told her to come to hotel mah..

They came back at 1230am. Jiayan had alot to update us, and she took out all our presents she had bought for us. She is reali excited to see us after 3 months alone there. After catching up, we finally slept at 2am.
