In my life, there are a lot of great moments; they could be winning the place in some competition, such as speech competition, Math court competition or writing competition. Or winning the election around the class, this is all considering the proud moment in my life.
During last summer vacation, I went back to China, and traveling some cities by myself in there, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, etc. This is the first time I did traveling by myself and also some time with my friends. From the beginning which is going to be book the airplane tickets online, also the hotel room, the right and fast way to get from airport to the downtown hotel. All I did it is never use Taxi, and only by the bus and subway. Since before I move to Saipan I have been live in Beijing for so many years, I already know the way to read the subway map and find the shortest way from one place to another place. Then I save my money and time which in the big city, taking subway is somehow save time then take Taxi.
After I did find my hotel by asking some people, I start to check in for the room and all by myself, and this is the first time ever. Because in China, people who are older than eighteen can allowed to check in and in that time, I just past my eighteen birthday three month. At that time, Shanghai is holding the EXPO, which means it is very hard to book a hotel room in the downtown, but because I did on the internet and also the location is not close to downtown but I chose the one was very near the subway station. I still remember the feeling of open my little room, little bit nervous but feel more exiting. When I was traveling with my parents, the size of the hotel room it is the tiniest one I ever have before, I ever had one have private open-door swimming poor, but this one it is make me feel most happy and enjoyable.
After I give a call to my mother said that I am fine with everything, then I start open my planner and checking the notes about where I am plan to go, those notes I took two month before this traveling, and as what I thought in my mind, I successfully got to the place. This is the most fashion area to go in Shanghai, but the style is not considering traditional, because most shop are open by foreign people, they from everywhere around world. There was one shop that I went in and chat with the owner, who are come from Korea. She was very happy that I can speak simple Korean, after I shopping in her shop, I was asking the most well known local restaurant that has fair price, then she start to walk out the shop and ask me to go with her to that restaurant. About 3 minutes, finally a small but has second floor old Shanghai restaurant appear in front of me.
So far, those things happen to me all make me feel exiting, but the proudest moment for me well happen when the waiting line goes to my turn. There was a lady ask me that if her friends can have dinner with me, and then they don’t have to wait for long time. After we sat down and chat, I knew that those five people come from Hong Kong and they well stay here for several days. During the time, I easily share some questions with them in English, because they are not good in Mandarin. In the end, we exchange the numbers and they were telling me they going to pay all the money, since they were on the business trip, so their company well cover everything. So the moment of having dinner with those brothers and sisters is the best moment in my life.
