Lazy me stopped blogging for 3 days, now is time to come back to continue writing.
The 3rd day spent walking around Chengdu town, basically a shopping day for The Boy's mum and me! Went to almost all the big shopping complex in Chengdu, Top City, Isetan, Ito Yokado ( the most expensive shopping complex ) , all the shops beside Chun Xi Road, phew...a long day of walk, shop, walk, shop!
Nothing much so i gonna let the pictures do the talking, some views of Chengdu , the busy central part of it!
There is this very cute shop that sells very pretty and cute Panda Tees for Guys and Girls. Situated in Top City! Check it out if you are here! They even have a very big cute Panda statue in front of the shop, so nice and i can't help but must take a photo with him! =)
We noticed there is this shop at the front part of Chun Xi Road that is always crowded and with a long long queue, selling some sort of Xiao Long Bao. So we decided to join the crowd and try it! Selling cheap, RMB 10for 12! Luckily the queue is not that long yet since it is morning time, so we got it when they were selling the second servings!
The shop is named 乔东家蟹黄鲍鱼生煎包. A national chain local snacks stall. Very tasty especially when it is still pipping hot. Minced meat and stew crab sauce is the ingredient they used. Then the Pao itself is grilled till golden brown and voila, ready to sell!
Headed back to the hotel for a quick shower and wait for the sis to knock off before we went for dinner!
Dinner was set at one of the restaurant beside Sofitel Hotel, 滨江饭店, since it was quite late and not much decent restaurant is still open. One of the worst dinner we ever had in these 12 days! Very very slow service, inattentive waitress, and the dishes tastes awful!
Stay tuned!

Looking back at all the photos taken, i kinda glad that this is a free and easy trip. It was through this way that we got the chance to understand their everyday life, to try mix into their culture, to taste their local snacks ( although some are scary, but it is an experience) and not those restaurants that tour group will bring. Somehow one the last few days, we actually discovered that we are slowly adapting to the lifestyle there, and feel sort of comfortable with it. We started to appreciate the simplicity of life people lead here. Even the tastebuds is switching a little to be able to accept the taste of Ma La slowly. I guess, i think to me....This is the meaning of travel, 旅行的意义.
I sounded as if it was the last post for our China trip, but actually it is just the begining, it is not even the middle part yet, next up is the magnificient, Teracotta Army , Xi an!
