Last
Saturday ,my GF and I went to She Shan, a much-travelled district not far from
the heart of Shanghai, to have a long
overdue weekend get-away. Not only did we really have a ball during our
weekend, but also our son ,a 7-month-old Samoyed dog puppy whom we brought
along,, was extremely crazy during the whole outing.
It was almost evening when we got to She
Shan. After hurriedly checking into our hotel,
we rushed to Song Jiang university city directly. As a monotonous regularity,
my GF walked Xiao bao (our pups name) for its routine poo and pee ,while I
followed the mother and son like a real ass-kisser .As we all know ,it is notoriously difficult to walk dogs on a
crowded street ,but ,in fact ,it was not
that bad ,because my GF got a lot of head turns due to Xiao Baos cute looks ,and of course, so did I .All the people passing
by us wanted to pet Xiao bao and couldnt stop saying what a beautiful dog
.every time Xiao bao heard the praise ,he would keep a straight face with chin
up and chest out , as if he owned the world and didnt even give a shit !
After walking
Xiao bao and getting him settled back into the car, we found a greasy spoon
,actually ,the student s cafeteria ,to have a cheaper dinner .we ordered
Sichuan and An hui cuisine which were really delicious !having dinner in the
cafeteria and seeing so many students reminded me of my own college life .although
I cant compare university cafeteria
food with that served in star-rated hotels ,but, however, i would go so far to
say that the atmosphere there isn't uncomfortable at all. Like the similar
structure saying ,I ate up the busy ambience
instead of the real food!
When
it comes to the highlights of this trip ,I have to bring up the hotel ,Thames,
which is situated in a relatively isolated quaint little town just off North
San Xin Road .The atmosphere there is tranquil and serene ,sharply contrasting
with shanghais hustle and bustle. We stayed in a room with a lake-side view, which we
could admire from our French windows. We could appreciate the budding weeping
willows waving in response to gusts of wind outside. In the morning ,we relaxed
on the patio, taking in the fresh air ,stretching ourselves ,and enjoying the
first light of the dawn. whoever can resist the hypnotizing effect of such natural spectacles?.
I think it is a wonderful journey !not only
did we relieve us of the dull ,repetitive clerical work ,but also it mirrored our
experience of our last trip to Si chuan where we fell in love with each
other!
