First day in Shanghai
Arrived in Shanghai in the evening and took a taxi to the hostel and after a few hours, we hit to the captain's roof bar for our first and the last drink fest. haha!! Some guys I already met in the ferry but other 2 Japanese girls, I met them after we got off from the ferry, and the other 2 boys from England, I just met them in the bar. I didn't see them in the ferry though!? Where were they for the whole 2 dyas!?!? We got there a bit late, (we kinda lost) and ordered some drinks and pizza cuz we were SO hungry! Three of us ordered 3 pizza.. 10 minutes later, our pizza came.. but.. wait a minute!? there were 4!! We were like.. what? Who else ordered?? And realized that it was our waitress' mistake so we asked her to take that pizza away, and all the sudden, she got mad at us! She said.
We took a cab back to the hostel. It was about 11pm or so but we went to see around the hostel. We found a guy who was selling magic things and he showed us some of his magic but he wasn't so good. He couldn't finished his magic lol but he had a nice smile so even if I didn't understand what he said and the magic wasn't really good, I enjoyed his show. haha
This is one of UTELS and the locations is okay.. Though it's a bit far from the center but there's metro and it's really easy to move around. It's about 2, 3 minutes from Caoyang Road station. This area is a bit busy at night in the summer. Somekind of marked it open til really late. Also they have tons of cheap massage places.
This hostel is really big. I think it has 4 floors and each floor has about 20 rooms, both dormitory and private. Even private is only 100rmb (per person). Dormitory is 60rmb (my room was 4 beds, female only). Thay have a huge common room with a tiny restaurant. They have games and movie night. No breakfast.
Landry machine is outside and everyone hang their landry outside.
Internet is okay. It's pretty cheap too. Every morning, house keeper will clean your room though they don't change your sheets but they'll clean the garbage and floor and set your bed nicely.
Staff in this hostel is between super nice or average. One guy was really nice though. If you want to go to Beijing or Hong Kong by train, you can ask this girl at the desk and she'll do it for you. You just tell her when and where to go and pay. she'll give you a ticket the next day.
