Todays itinerary listed going to central perk (friends themed cafe) , dinner and then a dive bar called 'I love shanghai'. It's ladies night so women drink free!
We showered and reheated our noodles that we bought last night, they weren't the best. No more reheating noodles! We checked emails etc and then headed off to the tube. Melissa fell on her ass which was pretty funny! no one even Bothered to help her Up!
It was another sweltering day in shanghai! 40 Degrees at least! We followed our trusty google directions to help us find the street, but yet again google appears to be wick. Or maybe me and Melissa are just terrible with directions! ;) We asked for help at a nearby hotel and they kindly told us where to go. Ten minutes later and we had arrived! Central perk. It was amazing! And much better than that Mr bean nonsense from yesterday. I had a diet coke And Mel had a blueberry hot drink and we watched a few episodes of friends. The place was tiny but it was a direct replica of the actual set, incredible! We could have stayed there for ages so it was time to move on!
We headed on the tube back to a place near our hostel called 'people's park'. It's a nice garden with huge trees and Lily's and a little waterfall. Very pretty! I took a couple of snaps and then headed on home. I picked up
A cornetto on the way as it was boiling and i fancied some ice cream! Delicious! In the hostel we also had some food for dinner. Mel ordered the club sandwhich and I had a Spanish omelette. Served with cold beans. Apparently it's all the rage over here! We chilled for a bit and uploaded some photos, then before we knew it was 7 and time to leave for I love shanghai! Apparently this place was above a restaurant so we had to keep our eyes peeled for it. We jumped on the tube and it took us to beside the temple. While we were on the escalator the strangest thing ever happened. A man stood beside Mel and said 'good evening, good evening!' I thought i recognised him and them it dawned on me that it was the same guy who told me I looked like a fairy!!!! What the hell!!! He must be the worlds worst con artist. Or an idiot. As soon as he saw me he bolted. How very weird.
After walking up and down random streets we eventually found the dive bar. It was pretty cool. Few dart boards, a pool table and free drinks for girls! I had a tiger beer and then Mel and i had a game of darts . We don't even know how to play so we just chose whoever gets nearer 0 first is the winner! I won the first round and Mel won the second. We then started chatting to a group of expats who all seemed really cool. There was a guy from California, Texas, Cambodia and Boston. They were funny dudes. At one point the Cambodian brought out his phone and it was massive, more like a tv screen. This set the jokes rolling of how it had been developed by NASA, and how does he walk when surely iron mans Remote control would weigh him down? It's hard to convey in writing how funny all these jokes were! After some darts and pizza we got a taxi and headed to bed! Tired!
