pressies from shanghai

well, it is such a boring night and it is such a good night to finish blogging about shanghai trip once and for all. i am sure many will breathe a sigh of relief that this 'trip' is finally over. the travel bag weighed 25kg on the flight back to kl from shanghai pudong airport...and i was threatened with a fine of about 500rmb. so at the airport, i unpacked and stuff some heavier items into my backpack and sent the bag to be weighed again. it became less than 22kg and they let me off the hook. i only had 20kg baggage allowance on my ticket. so did i buy a lot??? a big NO!! see whether you agree.
souvenirs from the expo. a cork coaster from portugal pavilion, a fan from hk pavilion and a glass block from saudi arabia pavilion.

coca-cola for kee hon. special editions released for shanghai expo and another can from japan which i found from one of the malls in nanjing street.

dad's green tea leaves and local snacks. next time don't buy all these pre-packed ones. most of those packed are already past their expiry dates. cheats!!!! but they are still edible and no one suffer any stomachache from eating them. phew!


gifts for others. pouches, burberry edt for brother, handphone accessories, magnets for aunt and expo teeshirts.
finally.....for myself. a 3d keychain of myself (!!! nice hor?? only rmb20 from the science and technology museum), hello kitty love shanghai phone strap from japan industrial pavilion, postcard from zhu jia jiao and legging from uniqlo (rmb79). wonder how much it will cost in malaysia. uniqlo will open on nov 4 at the latest mall in bukit bintang area, fahrenheit 88. dunno when i will wear that pair of legging but i just gotta have one. i love grey!!!!

and mulberry has so many grey bags this season. okokokok....i only checked it out once. won't check again. i know, save money.

ei u sure it's expired? normally China stuff like to put manufacturing date & then write in Chinese words expiry 2 years after or something like that

c2 i know what u mean...i tried looking for the chinese words that say it expires in 2 years time or something but can't find it.
the kids could not find any print to say that it was manufacturing date that was printed on the plastic too.
but i think u are right about the dates. almost all chinese food products print their manufacturing date instead of expiry dates
