Shanghai Yuan Xiao 元宵节

Today is the last day of the Lunar Chinese New year. Its called Yuan Xiao, also known as the Chinese Valentime's Day. The Shanghainese celebrated it with much joy and happiness. Its almost like the eve of Chinese New year in Singapore. I went to Cheng Huan Temple and the atomosphere here is fantastic. There's so much life and energy in this area.
今天是元宵节。上海人庆祝了它充满喜悦和幸福。几乎 象 新加坡 庆祝 农历 新年 除夕 夜 。我去Cheng Huan 寺庙并且气氛这里是意想不到的。有非常生活和朝气在这个区域。

Arrive in Shanghai

Arrive in Shanghai this afternoon, the immigrations custom is unbelievable. Took 45 mins just to clear customs.
今天下午到达在上海, 机场风俗是难以相信的。需要了45 分钟对清楚的风俗。
I can't remember Shanghai that well since the last time i was here, in 2000. I do remember the Dong Fang Ming Zhu. The Bund, Yu Garden and temple, i think that's about it.
我无法记住好从上次我在这里, 2000 年的上海。我 只记住东 方 明 朱,外滩 、于庭院和寺庙,

Shangri-la Shanghai looks good........but i can't say the same for the service. It cost a USD195 to stay in this hotel. Yet i wonder, what makes it 5-star really.
香格里拉上海看起来 很美,可是我无法说服务有多好........ 。在这里 一晚是USD195 。我想知道, 什么真正地 让它 做5 星 酒店。

For the sake of my Chinese friends, i had decided to write all these in Mandrain as well. This trip to China has really inspired me to re-learn my Mandrain. After 12years, i'm actually starting to write Chinese characters again.
为了我的中国朋友, 我决定写所有这些在中文 。这次 出差到 中国真正地启发我重学我的 中文 。在12 年 以后, 我又开始再写汉字。
