Apparently there is a really famous tea house and well I have now seen it, had my photo in front of it and walked into it. Its surrounded by this massive lake which is filled with the biggest goldfish (probably not the technical term..) just chilling all day.. very stereotypically picturesque for China.
Next to the tea house would be the famous gardens. I can't tell you why they are famous, they just are. What I do know is that they really are just so beautiful on the inside. You walk in and can just get lost. Quite literally.. It sounds very cheesy but it's so peaceful and relaxing and it makes you feel calm on the inside. It's almost without even thinking about it you change, which I guess is what is happening to me on this trip! Myself, Carrie and Jade went off to explore a little more and ended up talking about men, life and our hair next to the little pools and bonsai trees.
To break up the day we went to a well known 'fake market'. However, when we arrived we were told not to use the 'f' word as it offended people so me and the girls came up with a code word so they would never know! Basically anything that was fake was now to be referred to as 'shiny'. They had no idea so that worked an absolute treat!
If you, the one reading this, ever come to China, please if you do nothing else, go and see the acrobatic show. It was incredible and is one of those things I will never forget.. which is handy as I couldn't take pictures! The girls are so bendy and the guys just are fearless, you literally have to watch them with your mouth open.. It kinda made me want to exercise though because I have ab muscles like them but I just hide mine.
After all the excitement, lack of sleep and food myself and Jade became quite delerious and decided it would be fun to half shuffle, half gangnam through shanghai circus world station. So casual. There is video evidence and our mini flashmob will take over the world one country at a time..
Gave in with being cultured and forgetting the urge to exercise.. we got a Big Mac, went to abuse the free wifi and have deep chats. Bonds have been made tonight that will never be broken!
