Le Voyage... Yours Rambler

Last night in Hong Kong and going back to Taiwan tomorrow.

Although I have not making too many postings on my trip, I have been "tripping" since July 23rd with yours dedicated sojourner doing her tourist thing on days of the never-ending record-breaking heat in Shanghai to the Typhoon days in Hong Kong.

Many a walk I took, many a places I went, many a thing I saw, and many a experience afforded.

It surely has been an excellent trip (while I did do my work here and there at points).

Albeit the limits and the fact that I get support and assistance here and there many a time, with my body still in one piece, the efforts I made to get back to walk absolutely paid off... (especially considering that it was this January when I started to walk with two feet (as opposed to three)!

C'est un bon voyage para yours rambler (a new word I learned in Tianzifang this time)!

Yet another record-high in Shanghai

Apparently, the temperature in Shanghai hit yet another record high today... 40.8 degree celsius.

Good thing that I was still inside of the hotel trying to finish up a translation job and didn't get out until 2-3 o'clock! (though might have experienced a bit of the heat when getting out to steal a smoke)

Historical high in Shanghai!

As I was searching for information on buses in Shanghai, I came to the realization that I had just lived through a historical moment in Shanghai... the historical high of 40.6℃ (105.08 F)!  A record breaking temperature as has been recorded by the 徐家汇 weather station!

In the eyes of weather.com,

I surely felt it when going out to steal a smoke on the balcony!

And, now, lightening striking and thunder roaring... it finally rained down with temperature dropping...

盆菜 at 博多新記

My sister and brother-in-law took us out for a dinner ordering only 1 dish plus soup... during the Chinese lunar new year.

Gotta be really bad economy... One dish only?  Except for... not your ordinary dish... a dish that fed multiple families many more days afterwards... lol

田子坊(Tian Zi Fang)

I thought that my body was in a pretty bad shape when I went to 田子坊(Tian Zi Fang) for the first time in a steamy hot evening on Aug. 30, 2010.



Only to realize that my body was in a much better shape during my first visit when I revisited 田子坊(Tian Zi Fang) the second time in the winter cold on Feb. 7, 2011.



Things surely are relative in life... 8-O lol

Regardless, I made it to 田子坊(Tian Zi Fang).
