Sometime during my pregnancy, my brother told me he was getting married and that the wedding was going to be held in Shanghai. The hubby and I thought we would take this great opportunity to extend our trip and take a little holiday around Shanghai since neither of us had ever been there.

That was before Gavin was born. Of course everything changed after he was born. For instance, we totally underestimated the power of our son’s call to us. After he was born, the idea of leaving him behind while we went off on a holiday suddenly seemed too unbearable. As a result, we cut our four day holiday to an overnight trip where we would just attend my brother’s wedding and fly back ASAP.

Even then, we thought we might at least get a chance to see a little of Shanghai before we had to leave. Here are the three photos I took from our trip that were not related to the wedding:

Above: Hubby and Mom walking out to the hair salon where Mom and I got our hair done for the wedding.

Above: Another shot of Mom and Hubby - you can see a part of the Sofitel Hotel where we stayed at behind them. I did take another photo of the Hotel with the revolving restaurant at the top but I had to delete the photo because silly me forgot to download the previous photos on my memory card before we left so I had very limited spare memory on my camera for the wedding photos.

Above: a telephone card machine at Shanghai airport that I took using my mobile phone camera. It was meant to be one of those shots for “English bloopers”. If you take note that they spelt “automatically” as “automatially”. Even if you assume that they simply missed printing the letter “c”, the grammar is still incorrect.

Yup, a trip to Shanghai and all we saw was the airport, the hotel and a hair salon.
