Three unusual views
Ceiling at Vargas’ Grill on Dongping Lu (near Hengshan Lu)
I had brunch here with Emma- it’s 100RMB for all the juice and coffee you need to fight a hangover, then they have fresh scones, lots of salad and sundried tomato- deli type stuff, a really delicious cold rice pudding, fruit. There’s some kind of all you can drink option- but what kind of monster goes on a 2pm Sunday drinking binge?
New Century World department store lifts, looking down.
Can you imagine what this must look like to a rural farmworker on their first trip to the big city? There must be a puddle of drool at the bottom of this drop from all of the slack-jawed gaping.
Up to the roof of the Hongkou Football stadium.
Home of Shanghai Shenhua who recently threw away their chance of winning the Chinese football league. Just like they did last year.
If you liked that, you might like...
only that for 100kuai??
i remember at azul, you got a whole lot more for 120 kuai.
but 120 is more than 100?????
Where is the New Century department store? I should have probably found it myself by now, by I tend to spend my Sundays on a 2pm drinking binge….
My friend has been at the game and told me there were xinjiang like beatings of hangzhou fans afterwards. Guess the Shanghainese fans were really desperate for that title…
Shoppers- you pays your money and you makes yer choice!
There was some option to add another 50 and get a hot dish- I had a piece of salmon with eggs benedict. Didn’t need it though as there was loads of the other stuff that was dead tasty.
Dingle- I’m going to need to see a proof for that on my desk before Friday
Stimpy- it’s the New World department store, and I made that mistake the last time I wrote about it too.
It’s basically where Nanjing Road turns pedestrian- at around People’s Square. The place with the awesome arcade.
I’m having trouble leaving comments here, wonder what’s up?
I don’t know about rural farmers, the lift bank is mind-boggling to me. I got vertigo just thinking about it.
You know I am going to have to check it out next time I am passing – that is something else.
Mats- I didn’t hear about that, out of order. I only saw maybe 3 or 4 games this year, but Shenhua didn’t really impress. If the fans want to get mad about something, they need to look closer to home than the away fans.
Kim C- yeah it made me stop and look too, bonkers.
