The hostel was great for us to chill out and we decided to plan our days and do some research. The internet access was provided at a cost but the food menu was quite cheap. we talked about what we were going to do for next remaining day and do our blogs at same time. i went to a shop called 7 eleven which seemed to be a chain of newsagents shops in China, i bought some things ready for the overnight train, the food was not same to UK but i still bought some unfamiliar biscuits and crisps as snacks. Back at the hostel just five minutes walk from the shop, i decided to sort out my backpack and wash my clothes ready for hong kong, i was determined to do the washing myself unlike Ashley and Dominic who got their washing done by a laundry with a charge. i decided to do it myself by using the self service facilities as it was cheaper and travelling is all about doing everything for yourself like i said to the boys but they defended themselves on the basis of having no time to do it themselves, i thought to myself, ahem what about the time they spent trying to chat up every girl that comes through the doors!? we all laughed and they admitted they were lazy! After finishing my washing and drying my clothes, the lads went to chinese pavilion while me and charlene went to the shanghai acrobatic show with a kind man employee from the hostel walking us there. It was just around ten minutes walk from the hostel to acrobatics show which was right next to a market, i remember thinking to myself hmm i will go there after the show finishes! we both had enjoyed the acrobatics show seeing that there was a handful of skills such as a talented chinese man balancing his one hand on a pile of five table chairs in order. There was a act that terrified me which was a load of motorbikes flying off each other in a steel mesh ball shaped enclosure, the reason i was shocked because if something happened they could not get out until someone opened the latch, they practically zoomed over and under each other with their motorbikes. We went to the market next door which was different because it was in a block of small rooms selling all similar things but at different prices! i told charlene if they are so desperate to sell, perhaps its better if they actually moved to a new area/stall separately so there would be not a lot of competition!? i bought a bobble looking like a metal chain but elastic obviously with decorative art. We walked back to the hostel and the lads was already back, at no surprise, there was Ashley talking to a russian girl apparently named Valeri. He was with her for the rest of evening being busy communicating with her via a book of dictionary as she could not speak english fluently while the rest of us kept winding him up such as walking up to him and saying hello but he acted like he just met us and didnt know who we were haha until he showed her a bunch of pictures of family then Valeri said i looked so much like his sister! ahem...i am his sister! :)
