Greetings from Guangzhou – Day 06

After such a depressing post yesterday, I decided to go a little light today *smiles*. Song Nien and Kum Seng (project managers from Wanglaoji) each lent me some cash… and SO, I was able to shop, shop, and SHOP on Sunday from 9:30am till 9:30pm. I know, it’s a bit of a shopper’s overkill. Was nearly half-dead when I got home last night since am not really a shopping kind of person. Though, there’s a couple of items that I plan on getting on this trip:
1) Waterproof hiking Timberland shoes
2) Waterproof hiking bag
3) Sports shoe
4) Laptop backpack

We took the MTR to get downtown. Took a shot of this sign – No swinging. When I saw this my first thought was, “You mean that there’s actually enough number of instances of people behaving like a monkey swinging from handle to handle on the MTR?!?”

Next warning shot – No climbing. Hahhahaha… to think there were people trying to climb the poles. Errr… Maybe they should put there ‘No pole dancing instead’. Certainly the picture looked like it *wink*. So kinky eih…

Found in China… ONLY in China – No Spitting! I cannot believe the amount of phlegm and spit the Chinese here have. You can even see young, sweet-looking girls spitting all over the place on the streets *faints*.

Last sign shot on the MTR – Please don’t chase and create a disturbance in the train. *giggle* Must have been quite a lot of love birds on the train treating the setting like a garden in a typical Hindi movie :P

Self-explanatory shot of why I so gleefully took a shot to share with all of you – MEI DICK SHOES. Apparently, it’s quite a famous brand and I can see the adverts all over where we were shopping at. My sister’s name is “Mei Ling” and so I recognize the same Chinese character on the sign. Translated to English – Pretty D*** Shoes *LOL*.

So, after a full day of shopping what did I manage to purchase?
1) 2 PUMA sports shoe worth RMB150 (~RM70, so RM32 per pair)
2) 1 switch, there’s only 1 LAN point in the apartment worth RMB55 (~RM25)
3) 1 webcam worth RMB70 (~RM32)
4) Tea flavored plum and tea flavored Chinese plum. Dad willlove these :)

Wow, cheap right? They didn’t have the hiking shoes that I liked in my size. Sigh… guess I’d need to make another trip downtown next weekend to get my Mount Kinabalu/Tahan necessities *grin*.
