So last weekend a buddy from Concordia (the only one living over in Puxi with me) decided to go exploring last Friday. Usually this just consists of us asking each other repeatedly what we should do, and neither one of us having any idea what to do. Usually we try to look up something on the internet, which doesn't turn out well. Usually it is some super touristy thing or something that costs a lot of money (usually one in the same). This time however we had a plan, and a rather good one at that...in theory. I had noticed a bunch of double decker public busses on the streets lately, and after getting a friendly tip from a Concordia alumni who works at my school I had figured out where to find that said bus.
So after meeting up and getting lunch at the usual spot (Metro City Mall Food Court) we headed off on our exploration quest. I went to the place where I thought the busses would be, a rather confusing bus depot. However, to our sad realization, the double decker bus we sought was no where to be found. After wandering aimlessly for a few moments our new "master plan" was to sit on the street and see if one drove by and then try to follow it to the nearest bus stop. Well ok, we thought of this plan out of desperation, so it was really a back up plan/the best thing we could come up with in 5 minutes. This was quite unsuccessful, but I did come up with my next photo montage, weird stuff on bikes. This was my first shot.
So anyway, we decided to head back to my friends place which was close by to think of a better plan and look it up on the internet. Well to our over joyous surprise we saw one of those darned busses at the back of the bus depot! We hopped on and in 15 mins we were being whisked away on our double decker sightseeing tour. And the best part of all this, is it costs a mere 3 kuai for about an hour of driving around and taking pictures. Better yet, there was no annoying announcer trying to explain every little nicknack on the road. So 3 kuai later we ended up in People's Square for the dinner of Champions....Carl's Jr.
