Becs and Scott xx http://www.getjealous.com/becci-scott http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378850&go=becci-scott We stayed with Sam and Shafi in London for the weekend and got the surprise of our life. We had been out shopping for the day in Camden market - needed some shoes as only had flipflops. Sam called and said that we were to get to Paddington station to meet him and Amy (his new girlfriend) We arrive in paddington and get a call to meet him in a pub in the station. Walking in we find scotts parent... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378850&go=becci-scott Sun, 19 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378846&go=becci-scott We had probably the worst seats on the plane - right next to the toliet and couldn't recline! 12 hours later and with very little sleep we arrive in Heathrow London!!!!!!! We're home!!!!!!!!!!!! And where was our crowd of people to see us in?... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378846&go=becci-scott Fri, 17 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378844&go=becci-scott The final day of travelling.... :0( Headed out to the port and got the famous Star ferry across to Hong Kong island - ours was called Northern Star (all the boats are named differently) We then caught a bus to Stanley for the Stanley market - yes more shopping!! To our delight they were into a bit of haggling so more presents were purchased. Back to Kowloon where we headed back to the hoste... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378844&go=becci-scott Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378842&go=becci-scott After yet another amazing shower we surfaced and treated ourselves to another Mc Donnalds breakfast - funny thing is that Mc Donalds actually do a Mc chinese breakfast - noodles with veg and sausage in a bowl with soup. We then got on the underground and headed out to Hong Kong island were we bought a ticket on a funicular railway (its a cable car) to reach what it know as the peak. An experie... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378842&go=becci-scott Wed, 15 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378840&go=becci-scott Good bye Shanghai - outside bens apartment they must have known we were leaving - a row of taxi's lined up for us to chose from. After being scared to death by the reckless taxi driver bombing it down the motorway almost colliding with a few cars at high speed we arrive at the airport. Checking in scott had yet another issue with the airport staff - called over to open his bag - horror kicked i... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378840&go=becci-scott Tue, 14 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378828&go=becci-scott Saw ben off - he was leaving us in the capable hands of looking after his appartment while on business for three days (we would see him as we leave tomorrow) First point of call was to a fabric market were foolishly scott let becca roam around at her own leasure to then find she had bought a years supply of buttons and enough fabric to supply Prada. Becca was happy though and if scott had to ta... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=378828&go=becci-scott Mon, 13 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=376394&go=becci-scott Not yet fed up with shopping, we insisted on a further dose..probably to Ben's boredom! Headed to one in Pudong but more pricey. We gave up and headed to the Jinmao Tower to check out the views. A huge storm was brewing which still looked impressive even though we couldn't see so far in the distance. We managed to get fairly soaked heading back to 580 market for more stuff, had a quick run a... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=376394&go=becci-scott Sat, 11 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=371551&go=becci-scott A trip to Qingdao couldn't be complete without visiting the famous Tsing Tao brewery - the number one beer in China. Got their early and scuttled round reading about the history etc. Interesting but we were looking forward to getting the free beer tasting. Wandered around some museum exhibits to see the old machinery used and then to the new packing part. We were both sadly amused by some conv... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=371551&go=becci-scott Thu, 9 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=371550&go=becci-scott We flew to Qingdao - sold as a popular and pretty seaside resort north of Shanghai. Got to our hotel and had a wander. The smog was so bad though and by late afternoon you could barely see the view across one of the bays from the hotel roof. We wandered along one of the many beaches here - amazed by some actually quite big built guys on the beach and noted the millions of dots of colourful r... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=371550&go=becci-scott Wed, 8 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=371549&go=becci-scott We finally surfaced later than planned - Scott had had a late one with the lads at footie and becs hadn't slept well on the hard beds the Chinese seem to love. Finally got going and whizzed along on the Metro to Peoples Park area. First we checked out the Shangha Art Gallery which was ok but a bit small. The Becs nearly got conned by some touts claiming to be showing her boyfriend around Shang... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=371549&go=becci-scott Tue, 7 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT
