It was an excuse for the younger generation to party and got drunk. When we arrived home by taxi last night, there were lots of "happy" people on Nanjing Xi Lu. This was a contrast to the normal quiet down street I accustomed to. Yikes. Good thing we will be away for New Year's Eve.
We didn't do much; started off by sleeping in until 6am :-P Then proceeded to work on the computers for couple hours. After that, we were beat up by our PT. Long hard sessions; good sweat but couldn't climb stairs again afterward. Hee hee... All sorts of running around. I quite enjoyed walking in Shanghai when the air was cool and still not that many cars or people on the road. Couple meetings later then off to the salon; my friend decided giving me a last minute hair trimming. Kinda nice.
Off we went to Pu Dong area for a Christmas gathering; Pu Dong is a huge development area with a Science and Technology Park, the famoous international airport and new residential development. By taxi from the salon we were surprise how quick it went. All traffic was coming into the city to party. Normally at around 6pm or so, good luck. One would have been sitting in a vehicle generating large quantity of CO2 plus whatever else chemical coming off from the gasoline refining process. We went thru Nan Pu bridge connected to Pu Dong, as we "climb" up to the bridge; yes, "climb" as in driving in circular upward path similar to a parkade; at each level, we had the US imitation exits which could have caused serious accident as the exit and entrance are pretty much on the same curve with a driver concentrating on the round and round, dizzing effect, blind exit and entrance signs hanging high up... O where was I now? O right..... after much dizzing climb to the bridge; didn't take us long arriving at the destination; 20 minutes. For that far a distance, about 35Km, only less than CAD$10.00.
By the time we got back home, we were too tired to pack... Time for bed............
