Monday - 11 February 2008

The maid woke me at 10:30. I went out, bought some postcards (of Yu Gardens), wrote them and posted them. For breakfast I had 3 meat skewers (3Y each) and one really nice stuffed bread for 1.5Y. I was meeting Zoe at 15:00 at the Taikan Road. I got the Metro to South Shanxi Road and walked south to Taikan Road. where I met Zoe at the Hollywood Video Shop. We toured some small arty shops in a small area known as "The Lanes" and then walked back up the Ruijin Road and called in at Face Bar for some snacks and beer. Face Bar is located in a very Colonial 1920's mansion. We took the Metro out to the Science & Tech Museum where there is a fakes market. Zoe bought an Anna Sui designer purse and a Gucci watch.

We got the tube back to the Jin'an Temple and ended up at the City Diner for Burger and Fries. I had a coffee in Starbuck's at People's Square before heading back to the Hotel before the clock ticked over into Tuesday 12 February 2008.
