FEBRUARY 16, 2012
We went to bed at 11 pm last night and woke up feeling so tired still. Julienne and I didn’t realize that we got tired from the short trip from Manila to Shanghai.
For our brunch, we explored the Chinese fast food across the hotel. No English speaking person, no English translation on the menu. It was such a challenge. I relied mainly on my daughter who spent 12 years in a Chinese school but could not speak Mandarin still. She could however, recognize certain characters and a few words.
One billion Chinese was here. It was very chaotic and not enough tables and chairs were available.
Julienne loves dumplings. She paid RMB6 for 4 pieces or 37 pesos.
Hard to buy anything because English was scarce here…
First things first. We asked the hotel concierge for direction to the World Expo located in Pudong. Kulang din sa English. Ang hirap.
Julienne wanted to take the subway but I insisted on taking a cab instead. We paid RMB27 to the expo. P167 only – Not bad at all.
We couldn’t figure out what they were rallying about, or were they promoting something
Julienne at the entrance of one of the halls.
The trade halls are huge and the individual companies have big areas, like this one with a helicopter to bring the groom to the church. para hindi maka jump ship.
A Cinderella carriage for the bride
Here comes the beautiful bride..
All dressed in red..
Real humans instead of mannequins modelled the wedding ensemble.
These models are looking less gorgeous because they’re bored and tired standing since morning.
That’s why it’s better to have Barbie instead.
Bride in a cage, kawawa naman.
In China, the bride changes outfits about five times during the dinner reception alone.
Looks like a doll, but this islife-sized mannequin. Dress was shown at the finale in a grand fashion show.
