Day 5 to 7 to Nanjing

Our comfortable 2 hrs express train from Shanghai Railway Station to Nanjing.

Btw fyi, much information needed along our journey was gathered from the book Lonely Planet for reference. Lonely Planet may not have the best recommendations of tourist attractions but it has been helpful in giving most of the info that we need. For hostels, can visit Hostelworld.com as it provides a listing of some of the hostels in the world which you may want to consider booking though the listing isn't exhaustive at all. Any other better recommendations u guys have related to travel, pls feel free to share with me and the rest in my blog. Thanks.



Finally, my cousin is up on shot! He doesn't like to take pics!


The hostel in Nanjing is the one which we booked directly from our hostel in Shanghai. Under the same hostelling organization. I don't like this hostel bcos the shared toilet only got 1 pathetic small cubicle! Imagine it urself by seeing the photo below. I dread showering and using toilet each time! My sis again asks me to count my blessings bcos she has been to much worse hostel in Korea.

Our 4 beds dorm! I like this layout bcos it made chatting much easier for us.


Pls see the bathroom area I was talking about. Only 2 bathrooms and 1 toilet cubicle.


Pls compare the above with the bathroom below which is the one back in my shanghai hostel. 2 bathrooms and 2 toilet cubicles and much bigger and cleaner! Great difference rite? !


Despite me marking down this hostel in terms of its overall impression, I must say the location of my hostel was just fantastic. Nearby my hostel has such great shopping streets. Can tell taxi driver that you want to go to Fu Zi Miao. Its in that area.



Shanghai has too many shopping centres. What we like is such shopping streets!







We dint manage to come across any good food, as you can see from their facial expressions below. Disappointment after disappointment. haaa... The nu rou shao mai which I have told some of you guys about is the dish on the right! Nu rou shao mai without nu rou! So misleading!



To be continued....

Hope u guys dun find my blog boring..... me blogging them just so to remember the trip. Photographs are really footprints of memory. If not, memories might just fade with time.... and it will be hard to retrieve them once they are lost.
