Day 2 of Shanghai trip

Woke up at 6.20am and set off to see the 长江大桥. The bridge might seem old, but to the older generations of the Chinese it meant a lot to them. Some history of the bridge. In 1959, China was not as advanced compared to other countries in the world. When people had to cross 长江, they had great difficulties. As such, Soviet Union(presently known as Russia) played the role of a big brother to China, as both countries embraced communism. They offered to build a bridge for China. But the catch is, China must hand over all political power to Soviet Union i/e China would be run by Soviet Union and not by themselves. Of course this is a very big insult to the Chinese population, so they declined the "offer". As a result, Soviet Union pulled out all technologies in bridge making. The Chinese hit back by saying that they will be able to analyse and obtain the materials needed to build the bridge by their own powers. At first many western countries snubbed the Chinese, saying, "Yeah! We shall see what these yellow-skinned pigs are capable of. The water in the middle of the river is too fast-flowing and dangerous. They must be dreaming of building a bridge man!"

After 10 years of hard work and toil, the bridge was finally built. When the scene of vechicles flowing though the bridge appeared worldwide, the westerners sat right up and gave China the thumbs-up. It is from then on that people around the world recognised the abilities of China. These are some of the photos took at the bridge.



Well I sure suck at being a storyteller... anyway made the way down from 南京 to 无锡. Not much there, very modernised city. The most famous dish there is the spare ribs... known as the 无锡排骨. Well, according to the tour guide these are the rules for guys nowadays. Haha.

And this below is another joke from him.

As we know, most Japanese fare quite badly in English. It was rumoured that former US president Clinton visited Japan once. When the former premier of Japan got to know it, he became very panicky. One of his aide then thought of a way to get around the problem. He made the former premier of Japan memorise these few sentences.

"How are you?"
"Me too."

So when Clinton visited Japan, the premier welcomed him. However, he became so panicky that he forgot what was supposed to be said. These are the conversations.

Premier:"Who are you?" (note that he was supposed to say How are you?)
Clinton:(Thinking that he's joking) "Oh, I'm Hillary's husband. What about you?"
Premier: "Me too."

Haha. But whatever.

Guess I can only do up to day 2... but will try to complete the rest of the days ASAP.
