Holiday in China (tianjing) - Part 1

Food

Gotta mention the food first, the food here in tianjing is ....one word: AWESOME! the ppl here got a phase 'chuan zai shanghai, wan zai beijing, chi zai tianjing'! (clothes in shanghai, play in beijing, eat in tianjing) oh so true...

The food here is not only delicious, but they come in HUGE servings, literally eat until u drop! some of the speciality dishes include: Black fish (which comes in a big metal basin!) , tang bao, shui jian bao, beijing duck etc... It is cheap too, a meal of 4 big dishes comes up to about $20 sing, amazing.

one observation is that a lot of korean food here. din't see much jap food though, i miss my sashimi....

Shopping
All winter wear! so good, can save a bit. Bought jeans ($15 sing) and one pair of boots($20 sing) in tianjing city. Things in tianjing city are cheap but not in the industrial area, cos the industrial area are for expats. Sianz, Jam works in the industrial area, so again, i can't do much shopping, as things are not so cheap here.

Vanity trips
Had a manicure and pedicure, on top of that, did some nail art, total ard $30 sing. It is steep but that is cos i am in the industrial area, so bopian. The staffs were very friendly and nice too, and they were very careful, so that made up for the steep price.

Went to perm my hair today. It is a hair salon recommended by a local fren here. To play safe, i asked for their top stylist. The service was good, 'pampered' by 3 men (including the hair stylist) . One can observe that there are more male customers there, strange...Ended looking like a poodle and $100 sing poorer (cos i went for a higher end perm, which is supposed to do less damage to my hair), but was glad i tried it. Everyting must give it a try ma....
