Shanghai

First airtrip for Kang. We flew to Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou.
All ready to go.

Merry making on the bus.. Kang is nearly 6 months old now.

Wei holding tight to Kang.

Hangzhou's greenery and waterways greet us at every corner. Really nice township.


西湖 (Xi-Hu, translated as West Lake)



In the background, is this the pagoda used to entomb Madam White snake?
(雷峰塔 )

We went there with my Mum (and her colleagues)


Famous poetry quoted : 上有天堂,下有苏杭.




Feeding the pigeons, and doves.


Munching away, Kang was sleeping most of the time, and eating when he wakes up.
Really enjoying his holiday.

More bus trips. Tiring for us, as we try to catch some blinks.

We reach Wu-Zhen (translated Charcoal/Black town)

Weather started to turn cold, and the rain make it worse.

Kang was snugly tucked into his Sarong haven.


More portraits.. Wei was happy, and he was dashing here and there.. got water, boats etc.






The small alleys, but interestingly, there were still occupants in this houses. Playing mahjong.

Downpour... as we reach the temple, to celebrate Vesak day.


Wei is so happy to catch a police patrol car (gong-an)

The infamous XiangYang bazaar - selling all imitations. This haunt has since gone underground.

Kang' bathtub.. we improvised.

Night scene at Shanghai, City of Lights.
We took a ferry up/down the river, marvelling at the night scenes.

Little red riding hood Kang is so happy, did he see Food?
Together with proud mummy.

Bund as seen from the Pearl.


Look at Wei, gorging at the famous

南翔 (NanXiang) 水晶包 and buns


南京路 (NanJing Road)..this road is Long..need at least 30min to walk from one end to the other(if shopping, easily take 1/2 day)



Standard meals during our Trip, always a lot of vegetables, big Fatty pork, and one whole Tub of rice !!

Rockers from Singapore??



Wei: Look, our plane is here. Are we ready to go home?


This trip was tiring for us, as Kang could not walk yet. so we took turn to sling him over 8 days. But somehow, we still manage to survive, and Choo and me are now more confident to bring them on more trips.
