Oh my, today was such an adventurous day!

First things first, we’ve moved out of the motel already!! :D :D
But, the 4 girls lugged our luggage from the motel all the way to Chang Fang’s place which is like 1 street away. 4 huge ass luggages’ and a lot of hand carry! It was super duper heavy and we were like mad people walking on the streets with such huge luggages.

You think that’s all? Did I mention that Chang Fang’s apartment is on the FIFTH floor?! Yes, FIVE (5).

We lugged everything up slowly and we succeeded! Imagine 4 girls, doing all these stuff without any help!

Oh, our apartment’s not completed yet so we’re living with Chang Fang for like 1 or 2 nights first until our unit is done.

After chucking our luggage into the room we then headed for lunch! KFC’s just down the road (:

Angela also went to cut her hair at Wen Feng’s and then we headed down to Qi Pu Lu for more shopping!!

We took a train for the first time in Shanghai, like 1 stop only.

We walked quite a long way down to the shopping mall and I tell you, we literally went crazy shopping!

We found the best way to bargain to get the cheapest prices (near to the cost price of the goods) and we didn’t have to talk so much. Haha, go shopping with me next time there and you’re sure to gain.

In the end we carried 4 huge garbage bags back! Couldn’t get a cab outside the shopping mall so we walked down to the main street and also no cab.

We then decided to walk to Nan Jing Lu to find Chang Fang to get the key for the house. We had no clue how to walk there so we just decided to follow the crowd. And tad-ah! We found the place! :D

After getting the key, we tried to hail a cab and the funniest thing happened. Joanne’s garbage bag tore and a lot of clothes fell on the floor! OMG ALL OF US LAUGHED LIKE CRAZY.

We cabbed back to the house and omg we had such a hard time walking up 5 floors up with our stuff and then down again to buy cup noodles for dinner and up again 5 floors to eat our dinner.

The room we are living in now is quite tiny and there’s so much stuff we have including the new stuff we bought.

Okay today I spent like around RMB400+, it’s not a lot compared to YI JUAN (who is like sitting beside me reading what I’m typing now). That girl shopped like MAD today.

Most prolly we’re gonna move into our new home tomorrow night or the night after. We so need to move so we can unpack our stuff man!

I’m really happy with our new accommodation in terms of location wise. I can like also exercise (climbing up 5 floors everyday) up to our apartment.

KC: Okay, your treat man! We really miss local food. I've also heard from Karen, a bit only! You have any updates on her?!
