ok more pics from my mum's visit!

first up is cheng huang miao (city emperor temple) , taken on april fool's day 2007

checking out the waxed meats etc

starbucks in yuyuan (the 'old street' area of shanghai) ... how apt... and Mac's in the background as well


sucking it up! guan4 tang1 bao1!!! giant xiaolongbao!
kinda over rated.... xiaolongbao's nicer


check out the queues at the famous 'nan xiang' xiaolongbao place....
there are other stalls around yuyuan selling xiaolongbao which are cheaper and nicer, but this place attracts the largest crowds!

and the reward for queueing!


i had very yummy dumplings....stuffed with the ovary and digestive glands of a crab!!! wooo! wat a turn on! seriously, they shld change this sign...


most posing after eating!


checking out the famous xintiandi , not much activity during the day


visited my cousin after that... here's the place
