Shanghai Kiss.

The next day we woke really really early to visit the Hunter Douglas factory somewhere out of the city area in some really ulu factory district. It took us over 2 hours to reach the place!
The current Hunter Douglas factory: It was really cold inside the factory area and these two girls, Ying Ying and Zheqing were freezing; Ashley had to share a bit of her body warmth:Next it was to an exhibition for the Shanghai 2010 Expo. Yes, there is such a thing as an exhibition for an exhibition! Held at some shopping centre:Singapore!:

Next it was to an art/painting gallery:

Next we went to 1933 - buildings which were former factories and abattoir (argh.. haram haram!):It really nice, the buildings have been converted into shopping centres with restaurants and bars:The inside of the slaughterhouse is a labyrinth of stairs, corridors and ramps:

You can go all the way up to walk on a glass floor:Khai:Yeow and Hui Loh:The outside is equally if not more labyrinth-like:

Unfortunately, because of its far location from the city centre, the shops are not fully leased out:We later met up with Liangping and my baobei, May, took the subway to see the Pearl of the Orient and the Bund from across the river:

It was crazy! The mist!:

After dinner at a restaurant at the shopping centre near the Pearl, we rushed over to the Bund because according to Liangping, they would turn the lights off at 9pm. So we ran in the rain from the Pearl to the Bund... Only to find out that they don't turn off the lights at 9pm sharp...:
