Earthquake tremors! 6 Mar 2007

In SG! We were on the 6th floor but could still feel the tremors strongly. The 1st tremors were felt at about 11+am and the 2nd at close to 2pm. Both times, we evacuated the building:

And that was after calling and confirming that we have to evacuate. Guess we're all not used to running. :P

Landing approach. Inside the airport.

Some Szechuan dishes. A BIG restaurant. The server in the center is on roller-blades!

Wong Feihong museum. Shopping street.

Foshan, China. Mar 2007

My 1st trip to mainland China! Was there for some supplier audits. The only time I've heard of Foshan is from those Wong Feihong movies starring Jet Li. Well, they do have 2 (at least) Wong Feihong museums there.

So, where is Foshan? It's a city in Guangdong. We landed in Guangzhou airport (spanking new and huge!) and it was about 1hr drive to Foshan. Well, got to say I was really impressed by how modern the city was. The roads were new, wide and nicely decorated with greenery. Some stretches even look better than SG's roads. There were many crazy and loud drivers though. Lots of condos being built, and boy do they look grand!

There was a nice stretch of road with lots of restaurants. And a "Disneyland" like shopping street. Loved the S$10 foot bath cum massage. For that price, u get a private room with TV, a 45min footbath, back, arms, hands, head, face and foot massage. And fruits and drinks.
