Its a long drive with Isabel, our guide , the many levels of flyovers , the diversity in the architecture (European, Modern, Traditional) of this city ,makes it well worth the drive to the hotel. A quick freshen up , cuppa chai & we are off . The Bund, sounds familiar , well it has been derived from the Hindi word Band aka Embankment / Dam. A walk along the bank of the Huangpu River , with its beautiful historical , typically colonial buildings is striking. The sun set , makes it an ideal time to take the River cruise & see the city , near & far , shimmering in the evening lights.
Highlight:
Inder, wanting to go back to the hotel after dinner , by hoping onto a Motorcycle Taxi instead of a Cab & if it wasn't for Dad & Mom, we all surely would hopped onto the Bikes , for a hair flying cold windy ride !!!!! Sighhhhh .... next time ke liye , else , Hire a bike at Goa shall be the call now !
More than half hour of explanation , on how 2 soups for the Hot Pot have to be Veg, when Mom got her Veg Soup, the second dip into the soup & out came a crab piece ! Well , that she didn't eat anything there , was expected!!! Ouch!!!! And best is Anish ka experience , where he ate Hotpot on one of his trips & he hits upon a turtle, seems , they put a live turtle , which then emits medicinal values into the soup & should be eaten too!!!!! Babare !!!
