update

Hi. It has been my second week in shanghai.

Everything goes well. Nice hotel-like-room. Nice place. New experiences. New stuff.
Shopping. study. do homework. chit chat. walking around.

Unfortunately, the temperature drop starting this week. 2-8 degree celcius today. freezing cold. become worse with the addition of wind blow. this is my first time experience winter. in fact its quite different with those u can see in the movie, where they happily welcoming the winter. winter = lazy. lazy to go out. lazy to do anything. doing nothing in the warm hotel room feels like heaven. :P

So far, i ve been to Qibu Lu, its like Shanghai's 'mangga dua'. Shopping place. CHEAP! Lots of people. and definitely bargain. u HAVE to bargain almost everything here. i bought a pair of boots on my second day in shanghai. they open the price at 285, and i got it for 110. Bought coat for 110 yuan. and some other things.

Most of the time, i go everywhere with the whole indonesian gang - around 15 people - both from sunway and ausie campus. Last sunday we went to China Pavilion, where Shanghai expo was held in past few month. Pretty! amusing n very creative. worth to go.

Food was okay. its always a hard time for us when it goes to ordering food. understand almost none of the menu (everything is written in chinese Hanzi) i just randomly pick any dish, or point the picture. its kinda sad :( have no idea which one is tempting... hehe.

So here is my daily routine now..
wake up - prepare for school - school from 12.30 - 5.30 - dinner - do homework - (online) - sleep.

So i guess now its my sleeping time already.
Goodnight world.
