hongkong trip 3

17th july 2006 (wednesday)
Today we went to shenzhen. Had a breakfast at a local store behind our hotel. yummy...finally can have a taste of a local breakfast.

Then we took train to Lohu. The train was very packed. Cannot sit. Everyone's leg is almost gone but still has to struggle to stand.And when the train approached Lohu, passby few stations, can see the type of passengers bcome more "china". Sorry, mayb i'm a bit racist. haha..They wear very "selekeh". Reached Lohu and cross over to shenzhen.

First thing when we arrived shenzhen is go for foot massage. Ha! And we manage to find a very good deal. Only RM9 /hour. wow....even cheaper than bangkok.And the massage was great. The environment of 16 people doing foot massage together in a common area was unique. I once had this experience when i went for Abbott company trip to Kunming.

After massage we went for the cheapest lunch we find. Imagine 6 dishes, for RM5/pax. The dishes are sweet sour pork, saliva chicken (the restaurant specialty), sheong tong yin choi, vege, tauhu, etc. so cheap. All of us laughing our way out. Even if we eat mixed rice in KL also not so cheap. And it was delicious.

Next stop is east door(tung men) shopping district. We took mrt there. I followed adeline n group coz she's has been there b4. Wow....the area is so packed with teenagers. Even more people than orchard road. Difficult to imagine. And there r more than 10 shopping malls. All eths hopping malles is like sg wang.....now u have the idea...haha.....Tung men is the centre for clothing trading. So the price is very reasonable. But i have reservation for their style n quality. It was horrible. We didn manage to buy anything coz too many people n very dizzy.

Then we went to zhi qiang shopping area. Middle class shopping area. Finally we saw fashion more suitable for us. But i'm really too tired to walk n look around.

Finally we left shenzhen n headed back to hk. I tell myself this will be the first time n last time i'll visit shenzhen. Very abd ezxperienec.Especially the toilet. Just cross one border and it was heaven n helll diff compared to hk. I just had to hold my breath everytime i go to toilet.

Eventhough the city looks very modern, with high rise building, mrt, etc, but i still think that they need to improve their civil n moral values. Coz people still spitting along the road. And i saw mothers asking her young daughter to "berak" in public. And then they just use newspaper wipe the shit and dont even bother to throw to the dustbin. The newspaper will be left on the paveway. oh my god........And worse is, many ladies dont bother to shave and they wear sleeveless. I nearly fainted when i saw this.........

That's y i never like china. haha......
