Paris Shanghai A Two-City Tale

After visiting the client this noon, I dropped by Tian Zi Community to grab a lunch. As I walked into the community, I realised that I actually went to this place FIVE years ago when I was still at Uni..It's just so near my campus and I was there often to do some cheap shopping. So, I was surprised that a very nothing little street has been so famous now. It was not so good as I expected though. I knew this place years ago, and now it's almost the same thing. Except there are much more restos and cafes all over than years ago, and the prices are really reasonable, which is good.

I just took a shot in a japanese restaurant inside this community, the foods taste ok, and waiters were well trained polite japanese people, and one lunch meal set is incrediblely cheap. At the balcony under the sunshine, it was truly a good treat to myself. But still, it was really weird that we ate around the local residences's eyes, I mean, all the restaurants or boutiques are based in the narrow residence. A lot of neighbour residences really wanted to appreciate today's sunshine, so there were the hanging clothes just after being washed all over the head..that was no lovely at all while wandering inside the community and even while eating or sucking a cup of coffee.

Foreigners like Tian Zi Community, those foreigners who are not so bourgeois or well educated..one minute they take the cheap lunch at a street cheap restaurant and coffee there, chatting blablabla..the next minute they just rush into your taxi grumbling some spanish mixed with funny chinese, wanting to get into it before you..Incroyable! I just said "Ting Bu Dong", didn't even want to look at them when I was chocked by their behavior.

Way back to gallery, the driver spitted out from the window while driving..just wanted to mention it for fun.

And also, I should say that, indeed, Wenzhou people are everywhere. In every corner in Europe, Paris and even in Shanghai..to be frank, they are annoying and bad etudated country people, and I wondered how they became to represent the Chinese people in Europe and prentend to understand Shanghainese while they are still and will be forever Wenzhou people owning THE bad reputation in China mainland!
