Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston

By | Shopping, Travel | One Comment

Just when we thought we had the whole city of Boston to ourselves, when we went to Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the place was crowded and full of people! It was a nice and warm day in Boston which the Americans loved while we were hiding away from the sun 🙂

Personalized Touch

By | Household Tips, Shopping | 3 Comments

I ordered these notecards for my husband from Denise at Heartwarmers. I am happy that my husband is conscious about these things and he always makes sure he sends a proper thank you note or a personalized note to thank friends and family.  Nowadays, with text messaging and emailing and many other high tech methods of communication, Heart2Heart likes the old ways of sending a nice handwritten note.  My grandfather who is almost 90 years old, till this very day, sends us always a birthday or anniversary greeting and a thank you note in his personalized notecards.  He never fails to send us one whenever we give him something.  And it’s nice to see not only females making the effort. So I will provide as many notecards to my husband and make sure he will continue this and hopefully my two sons will follow suit 🙂

Taikang Lu Street

By | Arts and Culture, Shopping, Travel | 2 Comments

Thanks to our friend, Mart, for telling us about this place!!!

 taikangluaboutchinatravlenet.jpgp1180547.JPG

There are 3 different entrances to get inside from the road – 210, 248 and 274.

p1180551.jpg

 And once you are inside, it is like a maze with never ending beautiful restaurants and stores to see!! I could not stop clicking my camera wherever I went.  You will see a hodge podge of photos as if you were going through the streets 🙂 There is no zoning so you will see probably a store, then a cafe, then a house, then some motorcycles, then laundry, then a cafe again then a store etc etc…But it is an experience and I hope I can go back again to shanghai and maybe eat in some of the restaurants here

More motorcycles parked on the streets

And laundry hanging right outside and near stores.  Yet, its clean, organized chaos and there is no smell.  

It blends in so well and it creates the character of the place!  I love it!

A teddy bear cafe!! What a cute concept!

p1180435.jpgp1180434.JPGp1180433.JPGp1180432.JPGp1180430.JPG

When I first peeped into this door- I thought it was a house- but it was actually a store! NICE!

p1180429.JPGp1180428.JPG

There were so many people all over the place!  To think everything is tiny – tiny stores, tiny streets, tiny cafes – plenty people!  We went to the place twice and the first time it was raining and there was NO ONE!   But once the sun came out- it was jam packed.

Yuyuan Market, Shanghai

By | Shopping, Travel | One Comment

A definite stop for us!  It was raining the day we went so it was quite difficult to go around so we only stayed a few hours and ended up staying inside Starbucks.  So, not much photos as well.  But it is a nice market because it is clean.  Just make sure you bargain even more than 50% off!  Try your luck and you might get it at the price you asked for! 

p1170995.JPGp1170996.JPGp1170998.JPGp1170999.jpgp1180001.JPG

All kinds of hanging dolls- yarn, wood and cloth 

p1180003.jpgp1180366.JPGp1180367a.JPG

A store with many stalls filled with Chinese delicacies which i could not figure out, I wish I knew what they were  

p1180004.JPG

KFC, Haagen Dazs and Dairy Queen 🙂 

p1180005.JPG

The famous Xiao Long Bao stall in the market.  The lines are always so long.  We have been to Shanghai twice and we have never attempted to line up because the line is just too long…

p1180008.JPGp1180009.JPGp1180010.JPGp1180011.JPG

p1180012.JPG

p1180373.JPG

Heart2Heart loves this area in the market
