ON A LONE TRIP TO ZHOUZHUANG ------------------------- Sando has gone back for about one week now. The initially apprehensive me - going on a trip to Zhouzhuang. China's no 1 water city. Shanghai has 6 water cities surrounding it (e.g. bandung-Jakarta kota satelit geto) Commissioned by the Chinese governmt, so I thought it'll be safe to go alone. Sempet serem jg sehh.. Tp cb menghibur diri di kala menyendiri.. Haha..=P I took the bus from 集散中心 (which means gathering the loose tourists) di Indoor Stadium. Zhouzhuang is about 2 hours away from Shanghai by bus.

Twin bridge - taken by a couple from Mongolia (anyway d Cungkuo, org2 dari kota2 kecil geto lebih baek ketimbang org2 kota besar kyk Shanghai)

Zhang's House - Ini gambar belakang rumah (ada perahu kecil which supposedly brings the veggie + meat straight to the kitchen i.e. belakang rumah) spy gak jorokin seisi rumahnya

Main2 dengan penggiling beras - jadinya rice powder

A view of the river

Ini kunci dari Ming Dynasty - wuih pinter banget ya.. mrk mimic the space in between the monkey and the tree to make a lock! Wow ingenious bgt org Cina jaman dulu!

Ini friends that I made during the lone trip to Zhouzhuang.

Di kiri itu anak sklh d Sichuan cm dtg Shanghai sendirian & jalan2 ke Zhouzhuang sendirian (like me!) Haha...

The one behind.. nah itu mayan seru... (Bule biasanya seru) Org Polish cm co-nya itu main "rowing boat" dan jd agent "rowing boat" merek Croker.. katanya itu merek no. 2 di dunia. Dan ada satu tempat namanya FY di Cungkuo yg produksi 60% dari world's supply of rowing boat.. Gila bener! Nah lu pikir ce di sampingnya itu istri-nya kan.. Jan blg "We're just friends. Me and Yola know each other since we were in high school". Mrk berdua udah pny anak lage. Lucu jg.. Open bgt bisa jalan2 k luar negeri bareng2 ama temen2 sklh. Kita yg hidup d Asia ya gak bisa aja geto - di culture kita, kl jalan2 begitu mgkn kena stigmatised in the best case ya! Heh!

I also met a lone Taiwanese on the trip. We had lunch together eating 踢 (pig's hoof) and ba yu (ikan bego kyk puffer.. kl dipikir2 geli jg seh). Ternyata memank trip yg keluar2 kota Shanghai itu memank byk lone-ranger kyk gw geto.
