no time to deal here
take the most expensive ride
150.00 rmb
$30.00
and go

you will be in another world
another era
and you will discover what China use to be
go and see it before they destroy it
so many years of labour
so many peole dying while building this biggest canal in the world
go before they putting down

Live the past still to this day
the beautiful intricate canal of Zhujiajiao
go and see it before it disappear right

the sun wasnt with me that day but I sure enjoy my ride
the navigator made me wear a chinese hat it was fun
beautiful tranquille place where nothing had change much

bridges after bridges
36
time stop
magic happen I was enjoying the scenary until the boat stop and realize I was working I was not on vacation
quick tour on foot maybe to fast for me but since i didnt have much time here
I still manage to bargain a nice tea pot to bring back with me...
run run run to see it all impossible

I shall return
I was a bite shock to see a starbuck sign but you kow what today I didnt felt guilty not to have Chinese food even tho they have great specialities here to try.

I quickly stop at Starbuck
I know horrible right
but I needed to go to the washroom

so there was no body there
I order some coffee pastry
do you need hot milk madame
yes thank you for asking
while i used the washroom they fix my breakfast to go
had a sip of coffee and rush to go back
I will enjoy this on my ride back

ok which way to go
hum
people are very nice
that way
ok
it looks like another beautiful pound and garden to visit just before you take the metro
so perhaps I will come back and do this part who knows

rush to take the metro back to Shanghai
10 minutes late on my schedule

metro was empty and fill up all the way to SHanghai
on the other metro
i had th misfortune to get up to look at the map
Oh my god
I had to stand up all the way back to
Lujiazi

grab another quick lunch at mc donald
I know
its bad but save money
mc chicken and fuzzy tea love that fuzzy tea
went to the hotel
slept 1 hour 25 minutes
until the wake up call
Oh my god
where am I
oh slept real good
time to wake up and get to work

crazy but doable
will do it again now that I know i can do it

I feel bad not to have taste Chinese food on my visit but ran out of time I did had an expensive dinner last night so its not that bad, right!

So come along with me in this crazy speedy journey of mine or should I say morning escape out of Shanghai
