was actually sicked days before the trip, anyway, heck, bought the train tix, not gng to waste it, with panadols and flu pills in the bag, i hopped on the train & here we go...
reached on sat morning, checked into a hotel recommender by a friend which is supposed to be 'cheap' turned out to be 100gr more 0_0 !!! damn, heck, not going to freeze myself with all the bags to search for other option, checked in.
not wasting much time,we headed off to the market, with the main purpose of visiting the vietnamese market within. (yup,lots of vietnames there, dun ask me why, gotta read up on the history, then i will tell ya)
after some hide and seek, and asking for directions, we found it! there is also a cafe next to it...selling Vietnamese and chinese food!!! XD yea~~
treated myself with some kuay teow...
and half way eating,chew noticed neighbouring tables are having some white milky drinks,his eyes shined...could it be soya milk?!?! and to our pleasant surprise, YES, there are soya milk sold here...we had 2 big cups and even filled in our water bottle to take away some...LoL~
after the feast,we went 'marketing'...haha, keeping CNY in mind, we bought kinda lots of raw ingredients (^^,)V we are gng to have a feast during coming CNY!!! (FYI,we could hardly get 'chinese' stuff over here at my place,so it is good chance to shop in kharkov and store up!)
after spending half a day at the market,we quickily rushed back to the hotel to place our heavy shopping bags, and off we went to the centre then.it is getting dark very fast during winter, when we got off from the metro station, we were already greeted by the sunset...
i was quite lost at that moment as in which way to take to goto the 'shopping street'. anyway, we picked a street and started walking...n walk n walk n walk. nothing much impressive, kinda quiet actually on the street, started to doubt whether we picked the right way, decided to call to a friend who is very familiar with this city, double-checked with him...a park? checked; a statue? checked; eh? then we should be on the right street then...a lot more distance to cover? ok...let's continue walking then
...DAMN, wat a BAD BAD decision...we got LOST...in some outskirt kind of place...with temperature of -10 degree C!!! n the killing wind~~~ we just haled a bus n hopped on it and it took us to a even further residential area, at least we saved ourselves being frozen to death outside in the cold. anyhow, we took another bus back at the terminal stop back to center and searched desperately for the nearest metro station, rushed back to hotel...and collapsed~ ZzZ
