三合面，百度烤肉，中式推拿

Had a review until 12:30pm today and thus missed the lunch at the office hour (having lunch is the office considered very very cheap relatively compared to Penang - 4-7 RMB only).
Need to say sorry to 2 colleagues waiting for me because of my review...
Luckily, Morris (colleague here - who is always taking care of us) - drove us out to 犀浦for lunch...三合面。。。吃的就是。。。川式面条（杂酱，清汤，排骨，牛肉，等面条）。各自点了大碗的面。。。超大（6RMB 而已）， 简直是太值得了。。味道还不错，店里几乎满座！！
Thanks to Morris again..for bringing us out for lunch...

Dinner at XiPu again...犀浦..but this time, we went to 百度烤肉犀浦店， 吃的就是“纸上烤肉，就在百度”。。。佩服的是，这里的服务生全程服务。。帮忙烧烤。。。简直是不可思议。。。这种服务根本在槟城找不到。。。（高档的烤肉店也未必有！！！）75RMB ...

回宾馆前，去了黄桶浴，中式推拿，中茶等，。。。还可以。。不过个人觉得比不上泰国的泰式按摩。。。很好的一个经验！！！
有机会肯定会试试浴足！！！

是时候进入梦想了。。。（need to send out quickie first..had a great achievement this week by completing the tasks earlier...)

春熙路 Window Shopping

春熙路（http://www.chunxilu.cn/root/），也在皇冠假日酒店(Crowne Plaza Hotel, ChengDu) 对面， 相对来说是非常近的，步行5分钟便到。今晚那里都没去， 下班后就到白金卡会员餐厅享用一些茶点（太幸运了，之前在美国公干时住了他们集团超过50天，结果自动成为priority club的白金卡会员，优惠也比较多， 房间、床也比较宽，又有水果软饮料免费供用。不错不错。。。）

小休之后，一个人步行去了春熙路一趟。。结果真是太热闹了。。保守估计也有槟城王后湾(Queensbay Mall)的5－10倍，它之大，可想而知。。。。

踢毽子，成都锦里古街， 石锅田鸡

在公司里吃午餐，觉得还可以。。蛮便宜的！还在公司前踢踢毽子 （冬天时比较流行），也试了同事的307 （round 一圈）...这边的车比较高档。。太羡慕了。。

下班后，浏览锦里http://www.cdjinli.com/（经楠萼介绍）, 觉得很古色古香。。。不错不错。

很多三国英雄的故事。。。应该还会去多一次。。。去参观锦里附近的武侯祠 （上网查询， 发现到成都武侯祠又名“汉昭烈庙”，是纪念中国古代三国时期蜀汉皇帝刘备和丞相诸葛亮的君臣合祀祠宇，是中国惟一的君臣合祀祠庙。成都武侯祠博物馆是中国纪念诸葛亮名胜中最负盛名的一处。 纪念诸葛亮的武侯祠除成都武侯祠外，还有陕西勉县武侯祠、南阳武侯祠、襄樊古隆中武侯祠、重庆奉节白帝城武侯祠、云南保山武侯祠和甘肃礼县祁山武侯祠等。。。
。。。。

今天的晚餐就是。。石锅田鸡。。炒大，炒辣！味道还可以。

上班，午餐，顺兴老茶馆 (晚餐兼看表演）

Date: 9th Dec 2009
Temperature: 5.8 Celcius

As usual, go to work early in the morning at 8:30am and reached office at 9:15am.

Lunch at a small town in ChengDu, brought by Morris and Helen.

The lunch is quite 'cheap' relatively compared in Penang - about 11 RMB each for 6 dishes for 7 people..

After work, we have booked for 顺兴老茶馆

順興老茶馆

ADD：成都沙灣路258號成都國際會議展覽中心三樓TEL：028-87693202 028-87693203

。。。thanks to helen for her arrangement and booking for us!!!

Taken the dinner there as well!!! 兔肉炒，担担面

We have booked the 4th row for the show which started at 8:00pm daily which costed 58 RMB

每人都有一杯蓋碗茶裡頭擱著茶葉，每桌還附贈兩盤茶點，服務生會不時走動，茶喝完了會主動幫你加水。每天晚上八點開演，表演約一個小時，是由好幾段節目組成：俏花旦、手影、功夫茶、滾燈、小胡琴、魔術、變臉。變臉是最後演出的，實際上大約五分鐘而已，但卻是最精彩的一段。

最後最精彩的就是變臉。順興茶館的川劇手法是屬於"扯臉"是事前將臉譜畫在一張一張的綢子上，剪好，每張綢子都系一把絲線，再一張一張的貼在臉上。絲線則系在衣服的某一個順手又不引人注目的地方(如腰帶上之類)。隨著劇情的進展，在舞蹈動作的掩護下，一張一張的將它扯下來。

All of the shows are really really amazing...it's a "must watch" this whenever you have a chance to travel to ChengDu!!!

Last but not least was the dig ear service & head, neck & back massage service

I've tried and it's really funny and infact quite comfortable. (Some audients even taking the 'services' while watching the show...

Continue to work in hotel after returning to hotel ...(checking mails)

成都，中国 (ChengDu, China)

It's been exactly 2 years that I did not travel for any business trip...
Today is the first day arrived at ChengDu and will spend the rest of this year and early next year here in China....
It's abit tiring as need 3 transits are required:

1. Penang -KL (MH)
2. KL-GuangZhou (MH)
3. GuangZhou-ChengDu (CA)

This time, again 3 colleagues are traveling together: YJ, myself and Ian. (as in the pictures)
We had a great night in ChengDu...

*这一次之旅不再像上一次去美国时那么兴奋！可能比较有经验了吧。
