Trip to China : Shanghai Day 2!

   
Hello everyone! It has been a month since I last blogged. As you all know, the air quality in our country lately isn't that good; the air quality in some of the states may have had even reached the dangerous level. Yup, it's all about the haze. Take care everyone. We are advised to wear facial masks to work, to school or to anywhere we want. Be sure to drink lots of water and reduce the amount of outdoor activities.

Back to my topic of this blog post. Yup, once again, the trip to Shanghai. This time, I'm blogging about the second day of our stay there. Thinking back of the moments really makes me smile. We went travelling without following the those tours and yet we managed to find out all the tourist attractions without fail. I'm pretty amazed with ourselves, actually. Hahaha. :p
