Ye Shanghai Ye Shanghai- Day 3 & 4

Noticed that I have gotten the dates wrong on my journal for my trip to Shanghai....Maybe too long already....Anyway would like to quickly summed the remaining 2 days in Shanghai.

Day 4 - Aug 1st

The usual conferences and seminars to attend....blah blah blah...thought it was more relaxed as it had entered the 3rd day ...everyone already restless and tires after partying too much the last 2 days.

Its the eve night before I leave Shanghai. So decided to have a nite out but no kaki....so I ended going out with this lady from Indonesia.. A pretty spunky nice Indonesia Chinese....We decided to go clubs hopping .... on a Wednesday nite!...little did we realise that it wasn't a great nite to be out....First stop, French Concessions area....ranked to be the happening place....maybe its summer....the place was not really happening!!! we ended in a place having a quick bite as the dinner earlier was not too great....We did asked the waiters where are the happening clubs in the French Concession area....it was futile as there are not the partying types...

So we decided to have our little travel booklet as guidance......after much thought we decided to go to a place called ATTICA on the Bund....the booklets says its the happening place with a spectacular view of the BUND....so we jumped in a cab and off we go....reached the building....it was deserted....so we were wondering did we get to the right place...then we realised it was located on the top floor of the building...11th Floor....so off we go with anticipation....came out of the lift... and we heard the music booming....hah...we found the place...then something was amiss...no que...we ventured into the club......ONLY 2 of US!!.....we quickly exited....hahaha....my god ....so much for a place rated as happening!...anyway back downstairs...the PR was nice to tell us that its a quiet nigth cos its summer time...then why did you tell us when we first came in!....i guess he was trying his luck....again I pull out my travel guide....looking out for another club...spotted one call MINT....so we decided to give it a last try...the PR guy was kind enough to help tell our cab to get to this place... So of we go..... Initially supposed to be a 5 mins drive turn into a 20 mins drive....at one point we were thinking....my god have we been taken for a long ride... Finally we reached MINT.....it was actually a 2 stories bungalow....converted into chic restaurant downstair and a club upstair....but IT was a ANG MOH place...full of gwailohs.... and of course the presence of SPGs ....shanghai way.....kinda to think of it SPGs is universal....just not only in Singapore! .....We hang out for about 30 mins....and we called it a quit cos it was not happening for both of us....she did not like Ang Mohs neither do I...furthermore there were no Gays spotted....so we balik lah....so much for a club hopping experience in Shanghai....Should have gone straight to a Gay Club instead....maybe there would be better environment....but cant expose my preference so soon right...


Day 5 - Aug 2nd

Took the morning flight home....with MH.....arrgh it was Airbus 330......not individual entertaiment screens.....how lah to tahan 4 hrs flight without proper entertaiment...Thats why I am going SQ from now on!.... I promise myself....However , the flight was good as there was minimal turbulence...reached KL ahead of time....Yeah the crew was much better except for one incidence.......This cabin guy was trying to be funny ....but i thought it was rude and not in good taste.....U see....he was serving our lunch ....so he asked ( with that stupid accent!!)....

Cabin crew > sir would you like tea or coffee....
I said > tea please.....
Cabin crew> chinese tea or english tea?
I said > Chinese tea
Cabin Crew > oh of course ....chinese like chinese tea!

I was like ....hello!!!.....that was not nice...what ...Chinese cannot take english tea ah....so before I lashed out my tongue....he quickily apologised and said he was kidding....to me...it was unnecessary!....MH ...pleaselah sent your ppl back for training....how canlah we keep on winning BEST Cabin Crew Awards with these attitudes.

Anyway it was back home with nice weather ...... u kinda appreciate it becos it was not over 39....thank goodness for that...
