Shanghai-Jiang Nan 8 Days Trip [DAY 1]

I have finally back. So, from this onwards, there will be '8 episodes drama' about my trip only on http://kelvinwoes.blogspot.com.
23rd of December.
The day that was, that the journey started on that morning.
All i could comment on this Shanghai-Jiang Nan Trip 8 days trip is: 'COLD, COOL and still COLD!' We departed from house at around 5.45a.m. since the regulations stated there that passengers of international flights have to done check-in 2 hours before flight time. The 'we' represent 10 people from my family included me.

Doing check-in at counter 17. We went there via Thai Royal Orchid Airlines.

This is so random.. Doing their final check before check-in.

My boarding pass. I was seated at 62B on Flight no. TG426.
Before leaving, i shot some photos with my family.

Grandma and grandpa.

Mum posing with signboard.

Then, daddy felt jealous and approached to me for taking photo for them.

Grandpa, me, my sister and grandma.

Not long after these, the tourist guide, GIGI (in black) gathered us and explained some 'do's and don'ts' before leaving.

Cute Siamese baby.

My plane.

Children nowadays are so lucky. Can fly oversea as if they want. =(
Upon went into the cabin, i quickly swapped my seat with my grandpa who seated beside the window.


'Miniature buildings'. Did you found your home sweet home?

Breakfast on plane. The sandwiches suck, but the orange juice sweet!

Layers of cloud, different shapes at all the time, kept on changing, just like the emotions of human beings, unpredictable.

Landing...

And finally reached Bangkok International Airport (Transmit city) before off to Shanghai.
Some random shots in the airport.



Dang.. Jam-packed-duty-free-branded outlets like BOSS fragrance, GUCCI, COACH, LV, Worldwide Watches and bla bla bla were everywhere...




Mafias ?


Before departure.

The multimedia screen, I played Texas hold'em poker on the screen. =)

Lunch. It was delicious.

Fluffy layer cakes.

After 4 hours of tiring flight, i arrived Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

Dang.. Photographing is strictly prohibited inside any of the China International Airport. =(

Upon arrival, we took a ride on the Maglev Train (磁浮列车), something like the bullet train in Japan or 'super-advanced-yet-high-speed' LRT in Malaysia. The maximum speed it could reached is 369km/hour.



After 10 minutes, we arrived to LongYang Road Station.

My uncle's family.

Before went to have dinner, we took a stroll to our tour bus which parked far-far away from the station. We walked through the night market too.


I like this shot.

After ate dinner, we went to Shanghai World Financial Center （环球金融中心）, currently the 2nd tallest building in the world.



We ascended up to the 94th floor to have a panorama view of the Shanghai during the night. I brought my tripod up there too. =)

Oriental Pearl Tower(东方明珠塔). The annoying reflection by the light on the tower beside and the moderate-heavy maze, dang ?!

金茂大夏 and Oriental Pearl Tower (东方明珠塔).

Rooftop of the 金茂大夏.


I like the lights, especially by when the cars moving.




The couple from our tour group too. They were having pre-honeymoon. And, they use SONY Alpha 250 DSLR too.
On the way back to bus,

My car.

Christmas lights.

The entrance i entered before. Love the night, love the light.

After that, we went to The Bund (外滩)where famous of the drama 上海滩 and its legendary historical background.
The whole sightseeing turned out very disappointing as the temperature was only 2 degrees and started to have maze again!



The Bund. Somehow it looks 'blurry'.

Mum and dad.

Gradma and Grandpa.

I love their buildings at night. Nice orange lights from head of the road until the end, but this causes serious light pollution. I could rarely see a single star hanging on the sky during the night.

After that, we went to XinTianDi Bistro Area (新天地酒吧街）. Nightlife and more! So many hot chicks and photographers with long-big lens there.





I wonder were they dwarfs or elf ?!

Merry belated Christmas. =)

After all, we back to hotel. Hotel of that night was the 5-stars Paradise Hotel （甸园大酒店）.

My mum, sister and I stayed in the same room.

Woots!! stay tuned for ep. 2.
