Day 9 China (哈尔滨,大庆)

There's more pics today! We work hard and we play hard. Finally we have crossed the halfway mark. Another few days and I will be back. Can hardly wait to be back on the sunny shores.


We went to a western style coffeehouse. Finally a change from Chinese breakfast.

The thorn amongst the roses? I was outcasted.

My pick - Blue Mountain Coffee. Heard about it on tv and now finally had a chance to try it. I am no coffee connoisseur but this tastes just like the 70cents Kopi-O in the coffeeshop. Opps.
That's mi and my coffee.
Ham, toast with 2 eggs.
Lunch was Korean BBQ.
Here's a close up of the BBQ pit.
As usual we ordered more than we could finish.
We finished work and stopped by 'Wine Street' to get alcohol for dinner. There's this long stretch with similar looking shops selling both wine and cigarettes. The Chinese here are so proud of their liquor that they looked down on the Absolut Vodka, Jack Daniels, Chiva etc.


Dinner was at this seafood restaurant.

We were given the autonomy to order. But i chose to snap pics.
We had the BEST VIP room in the restaurant. Even had a pool table.
Haven't played in ages. But the pose can still make it right? =P
I told you i am good at posing!
The room's really huge. Just look at the size of table.
Ok, here comes the highlight! One WHOLE freaking ABALONE! I finally fulfilled my wish!
Look how thick it is! It was real good!
GIANT prawns that we had.
Salmon Sashimi.
This sashimi was arrange like the petals of a rose. Very artistic indeed.
Sharks' Fins. Oh man, we really dine like kings here.
That's how much sharks' fins the bowl contains.
BBQ oyster. Yummy!
Of course, all this came at a price. We had to drink again.
After 9 days of hanging out with the hosts, I am still unable to comprehend why they love their liqour so much. The smell of it makes mi wanna puke. Anyway, its Tuesday tomorrow. Another 5 days and I will through!
