上海是個好地方！我頗喜歡這裏，我喜歡這裏的生活指水低但生活質素高。我在上海的短短九天中，咖啡固然是不可或缺的一個生存必需品。上海沒有香港 Pacific Coffee，但Starbucks四處可以找到，密度可能比香港還是高呢！說到咖啡，不得不提一下以低價高質打入市場的咖啡店－"85度咖啡店"。 "85度咖啡店"是台灣引進的公司，根據資料，"85度咖啡店"於台灣成立一年就己經回本，在台灣擊到了全球咖啡大哥大－星巴克，成為最愛歡迎的咖啡店。成功的因素是"85度咖啡店"能夠以一個低的價錢提供高質量的服務及產品。它一杯咖啡只不過是八元人民幣，一整個蛋糕都只不過是二十八元呢！但質素絕對沒有問題，味道一流。社會愈來愈多以低價高檔的策略打入市場的企業，這策略其中重要的關鍵在於成本控制及公司的產品如可以低價但不低檔的形象推出市場。

這次也去了蘇杭兩地。杭州的西湖是美，水鄉也很有味道。可惜商業氣味很重，而且離開旅遊點的地方立即變得很可怕，四周都"立立亂"又污糟。怕怕！！蘇州比杭州好，可能比較近上海，只需四十分鐘車程。蘇州的觀前街是新建成的旅遊點，內裏有不少食店，今次試了川福樓，味道好價錢平。最印象深的是－"露荀粟米"，本以為這道菜是蔬菜類的菜式，誰不知到來時卻滿滿是一碟蝦仁加數顆露荀。嘩然！這碟菜只不過是二十八元，卻有一碟滿滿的炒蝦仁利害！！

除了食，忘了提一下今次的住宿。這次旅程全程入住．．．無星級的Motel168及Motel268。價錢平，質量還可。雖不算是一流的酒店，但勝在管理好全國有分店信心有所保證。住的地方其實最緊要清潔，我可以話Motel168比香港離島的渡屋好多十倍但價平三份一。而且Motel168的地點都很近景點，很方便呢！

總括這次的旅行不錯，我對上海早感到興趣，這次去完被迷住了。有機會去住一排或者工作是很不錯的。當然要有香港的人工才行，在大陸打工只有三千一個月真的不知怎過活呢？

If a restaurant has only one item on its menu, it'd better be good. That's exactly the case for Nanxiang Steamed bun restaurant. It has been around for hundreds of years and everyday you will find a huge lineup near their fastfood joint inside the Yuyuan Bazaar. If you are too lazy to wait in the lineup, take the staircase upstairs and you will find a much more comfortable cafe serving the same buns (of course for a lot more money).Dumplings such as small steamed meat bun and crab meat xialongbao are definitely must haves. The big steamed meat buns are also quite popular, but I personally found that the paste was a bit too thick to my liking.

The view is absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is great for romantic dining as well as group gatherings.The menu offers very few choices and the food is average at most, but I have to say that for such setting and view, the pricing is more than reasonable.
