China Trip (December, 2011)

Sorry for the late update. Here’s a complete notes on our recent (d'uh its already March, 2012!) trip to China. If you personally ask me whether I want to come again to China (particularly Shenzhen), I would say NO. Teehee. But if you have never been to China, it’s a good experience to know about their culture, their foods, their places of interests etc. For those yang cerewet pasal makan while traveling, please bring your own comfort food (like serunding daging, sambal bilis, kicap etc). It is also a well-known place for shopping, as you could find almost everything under one roof in China, with a cheaper price if I may add. The key words are : you-must-bargain-when-purchasing!

Note : please bear in mind, imitation things are everywhere, tepuk dada, tanya selera. The weather in Guangzhou is generally lagi sejuk berbanding Shenzhen and Hong Kong. All in all, it was a nice experience in China. I may conclude, if you go anywhere with your beloveds you will feel great! That’s the key :)
