Dear Diary, Tag Drei...Brunch...

Fourteen September, Two Thousand Seven

Guang Zhou
Morning

Location : In The Midst Of Waking Up.

Slept at 2am last night, woke up at 7am this morning.. was told that we will be having dim sum brunch.. mmm.. brunch.. thinking about that made me fall back to sleep.. only to wake up at 9am..

i ended up being the only one sleeping..
everyone was pacing around..ha..

Rushed out of the apartment...
Thankfully.. i packed my stuff last night

Headed down to shopping mall with the rest
in our usual transports.. the taxi!

We headed to this restaurant..
which concept was rather cool..
dark lights..
tables on the sides..
in the middle was this long walk way..
like those you see in fashion shows?

runways?

the whole idea was based on a fashion show..
although the waitress don't serve you the food via the walkways..
the concept was still rather cool.. with a huge ass projection screen showing
fashion shows..

and with toilets like this..

A 'conceptual' mirror toilet, although it isn't a new idea.. it was rather interesting to see it..
Imagine.. looking at four walls of mirrors when you're attempting to conduct your "business"..

and then.. there was the food...

GOOD SPREAD

the one rewarding thing in the morning...A dim sum brunch..
with the prawn dumplings, buns, small dragon buns, chicken feet(eww),siew mais, spring rolls.. mmmm

there is this one bun.. never ate it before.. but i found it interesting, it looks like a normal bun.. but the content inside is a whole egg yoke. And they ordered 9 of those buns.. Ugh..

then there were the other types of goodies..

Egg tarts



Unique Shiny Bun

Brunch was good.. one of the best i had in China..the prawn dumplings were huge and juicy.. good buns.. with a nice atmosphere, friends..
and just in case a very "reflective" toilet..
What's more to ask..

Brunch..

Dear Diary, Tag Zwei.. Part Two..

Thirteen September, Two Thousand Seven.

Guang Zhou.
Mid Afternoon.

Location : Attractions

Within YueXia park, there are a couple of attractions, we visited two museums (yes, we're such geeks), within the park itself... there were many hidden paths and noises..
one distinct noise that we notice comes from the top of one of the hills, we concluded that it was playing people mahjong... we didn't get to see whether what we concluded was true, but we heard it many times during our ascend up
Another thing we noticed in the park was the vast amount of make-out corners..
everywhere we went, we saw couples here and there.. there was one incident we actually walked into one couple getting it on..

We visited another museum as it came with as a package tour along with the first exhibition. The museum was a whole new game. There wasn't anyone in it except the curator.. alittle creepy..



The museum was not much different compared to the exhibition, it's exhibits were mostly concerning Guang Zhou's time of regime..

Exhibits within..

this only section of the museum was the interesting part.. aside from showing the history of guang zhou, it shows the different types meteorites , minerals and fossils collected in that region over the years

with all that done, we started heading for the exit.. as we didn't have breakfast nor lunch since morning, we decided to head back to a shopping mall for brunch. We did a little shopping and stopped at haagen diaz.. the price difference there was measly.. we decided to plan for the next trip while indulging.

We decided to hop on the public train for experience sake.
didn't take much photos, but when we enter the train carriage, everyone was looking at us.. guess we really do stand out like tourist in a Chinese country.. felt a little uncomfortable.. but.. what the hey.. we're already been stared down so many times..

We travelled around till late afternoon, where we took a cab back to the apartment.
Waited for the rest to get back. Had dinner (Chinese cuisine) and headed back for another night of watching shows and packing the house..

ended up sleeping on the floor again...
frankly.. it's the same as the hotel's hard bed..
ah..well ;)

till then...
