Where we stayed.. Jianguo Hotel

The station near our hotel..


The streets of Shanghai... look at the trees..

At the Bund..
It was windy!
The Colonial house facing the Bund
A meal at Xintiandi in the cool weather
The touristy chen huang miao.. which we left just after 10 mins there
I love this place... it holds special memories =)
Coffee at Hyatt..
It was almost 10 degrees at night
With Ophelia, at the Xu Jia Hui Cathedral
Their public toilet, found it quite cute..
And when I came back to Singapore, arrived at 525am, and had a pleasant surprise seeing HK waiting at the airport. =)=)=)
