Dear all,

i wanted to type in full chinese with the sounds and all but i gave up after the first sentence la, too waste time haha. Anw first of all, i need to thank all of you (5 of you) for accomodating this additional guest here. Dun worry ok, if u need to have some time alone, pls do let me know, i am perfectly fine with shopping on my own even in overseas if u allow me to recall my experience in Vietnam.but hmm eh dun all the time la, like tat i quite sad!
=( haha

Anw, just to add, gals, if we are doubtful of LN's taste in fashion wear (which personally i am quite), DUN worry! cuz i manage to find a second opinion, turned out that my japanese classmate is from Chengdu and she just went back, she says she will come back and give up some good recommendations to go - one eg she gave was- Chun1 Xi1 Lv (Road) - like far east pattern place. She also mentioned we can go check out some gay bars - COOL! i want go! and well she says china live bands not bad too.. which hmm although LN said otherwise...

Btw, are we doing sightsee-ing and can we go for massage cuz i think, bl**dy hell, spore spas are too expensive la.

Regards,
Huiying

Da jia hao, you shi wo.

Before I irritate the hell out of Anna, please allow me to change the language to one which does not require your imagination to guess which "sound" it is.

Anyway, in July, standby for hot weather. Sunglasses, sunhats, sun blocks, bring em all out. Berms, t-shirts and slippers should be the preferred attire. For those with a penchant for thick clothing, it is suggested that you leave them behind. According to the latest weather report aka my mother, July will prove to be one of China's hottest months. Fear not though, as much as it is hot, it will not be as humid as right here in Singapore.

The place of abode will be my parent's apartment known as "Jing3 Xiu4 Hua1 Yuan2". The apartment is a cozy one with 2 bedrooms ready for us. It will be a bit cramp, but at least it will be free. I hope y'all will not be too concerned with sleeping on mattresses.

It is recommended we try to go cheap on breakfasts. There is a Carrefour nearby the apartment where we can get dirt cheap roti, milk etc. This is so that we can splurge more on better meals for lunch and dinner. We should however try the tao huey nearby the apartment for breakfast one day. All I can say is pi pi chee chee dua liap nee!

Off my head, a few eating places we should go would be "Qing1 Shan4 Zai1", a place where we will enjoy marvellicious steamboat! We should also try the peking duck there. Y'all will also be amazed by the KFC there which sells this funky chicken wrap which is quite tok gong. We will also be going to my dad's favourite joint called Grandma's Deli where the Peanut Butter Pie is an absolute must try! There will also be dirt cheap jap ala carte buffet, Teppanyaki, and even thai food. For special dietary or taste requirements, exotic or otherwise, please do not hesitate to inform me, and I will try my best to fulfill.

For shopping, trust me when I say you will not regret. Guys, we'll just have to bite our tongues and help the girls carry, but I assure you we can refresh our wardrobes there also. Shoes bags, clothes, sports apparell, it's all there. Of course it's up to you to spot a bargain lah. If y'all are looking for tech stuff (thumbdrives, mp3 players etc), there's this place called "Bai3 Nao3 Hui4", Chengdu's very own Sim Lim Square, on the cheap of course. I got my Teku 2.2GB thumb drive for $150 there. You will may also be sweeping CDs, VCDs, DVDs, off the shelves. If you think Parallel import is cheap, you have seen nothing yet. I am particularly impressed by the TV series' you can get there by the season. CSI, friends, Sex in the City, you name it, they should have - by the entire season some more. I'm not so sure OC is very hot there though. I won't be surprised if we come back all overloaded.

For those who are concerned about Internet access, fear not! My mom's apartment got computer and China's very own interpretation of broadband. Of course, how broad is their band is questionable, but I assure you, you will not feel disconnected.

We should also go bowling and sing KTV. We can bowl until our hands break and sing until our voices are sore coz it's so dirt cheap.

Should there be any queries, please feel free to let me know.

LN
