Heres a REAL bullet blog which will be put more into depth later.
· First day. Hung out around the town ventured around random areas with mark, mike, lis, and kelcie. Ate crazy food. Shopped.
· Went out that night to a bar called La Rouge. Went with seriously a group of 20 of us but we broke up in like 4 cabs and all followed each other there. It was really fun and they lit the bar on fire and gave us sparklers for the Chinese new year.
· So our 2nd day in shanghai we met up with our new friend Leigh and one of her friends and decided to get in a cab and go to this underground market to go shopping. This is where I got all this stuff I previously posted about such as the $1 DVDs (I’m like a few hours from Vietnam and apparently you can get them cheaper there!) So anyways that was so much fun. My first bargaining deal was pretty interesting and ended in the lady yelling at me and lis and snatching a calculator out of my hand. Nice.
· After that we tried some food at this underground place. We got noodles which were pretty good and then some dumplings which were okay. I like Japan’s food better! Though, this food wasn’t bad or anything-not what I expected though.
· So after that we were kinda tired and decided to leave and head back to the boat.
· This night I went out with Lis, Kelcie, Lyndsey, Stacy, Tucker and Patrick (I realize you have no idea who these people are, this is for my memory only)
· Anyways we got super lost finding what we were supposed to find and finally got to this club/bar and it was superr nice and we were so underdressed but we went with it. We were the only SASsholes except 2 other girls.
· At first it was awkward but then we got used to it and LOVED it. They had a giant stage and played American music we knew every word to and we got on the stage and pretty much gave a concert for 3 hours. It was soo much fun! They loved that we are American!
· Next day. Me and lis ventured out on our own and went shopping. In a very populated but popular area to shop. The highlight of the shopping was going to a candy market and everyone was so friendly and willing to help even though they were so busy. We also got asked for our picture 4 times in that market J
· After we accidently walked more and ran into a place where a movie scene was being filmed. As Gini would know my knowledge of movie stars and know I wouldn’t have any idea who it was-which is true. So I snuck a picture I wasn’t allowed to be taking and turns out it was Hugh Jackman! How crazy!
· Anyway after that went to a bridge where you can get pictures of the whole city skyline of the Bund-sooo gorgeous! Also this is where we met our stalker who proceeded to follow us almost fully back to the boat. Scary!
· After that we took some pictures by the boat and headed back on for dinner and to get ready for the next two days of transit.
· The next two days I spent in transit on the ship with about 100 other kids on our way to Hong Kong. It was just me and Lis on the ship of my close friends but having so little people on the boat brought us closer and helped us make a ton of new friends. Though it got slow and boring at times it was a good experience.
· So our first day in Hong Kong I hung out with Lis, Mark, and Mike and we explored around and found a few touristy places. Such as the “mile” long escalator which was pretty sweet, egg pies which are delicious, and at around 4:00 we went to Victoria Peak and stayed until it got dark at night. It was gorgeous and you could see the whole skyline go from light to dark at night but at night it’s all lit up from all the skyscrapers. It was so pretty!
· After that we took the fairy back to our ship and got ready for the night.
· We headed to this area that has a ton of bars-its SO cool! A TON of sas kids were there and they were all portraying their SASshole reputation very well.
· Anyways it was so fun and it’s like like 3 blocks by 3 blocks of streets and corners of bars and food and great night life! Too much fun!
· The next day was the ONE day I have slept in since being on this voyage and I was kinda lazy and took FULL advantage of the free wifi I have outside the ship…and so did every other kid on this ship. We were docked in a mall and it was FULL of SAS kids trying to suck in every last free internet minute they could. Now that I got my lazy day in, no more are allowed on this trip- I decided.
· There’s so much more to write but I have NO time right now. I’m going to be in Vietnam in about 6 hours and ill be in Cambodia at like 2 tomorrow so that’ll be like 10pm the day before me for you guys. Im pretty excited for both Vietnam and Cambodia!
