Shanghai is
been really amazing for me so far … Those eateries, hidden alleys, the smells
and many more …
Slowly, I start to feel something for the city … Perhaps I would live in this city one day ...
It was just
one of the random stuff that I came across during one of my visits … A friend
of mine who works for TimeOut Shanghai asked me to join her for one of her
fieldwork to a “hidden” bookstore at Julu Lu …
From
outside, it was nothing like a bookstore. From the inside, it was just so cozy,
more like a living room or your own private library. It did not have lots of
English collection, but wide range of interesting Chinese collection (perhaps
it’s about a time for me to actually learn Mandarin) … It does serve light
beverages and the shop keeper was just so friendly (Ps. She is also a translator;
in fact she was working on translating one English book to Chinese when we were
there).
Bought a
book for RMB 30 (pretty reasonable price for a second-hand book) and pretty
much still in good condition … The shop keeper mentioned that the book that I
bought is really comical … Hope will get the chance to read the book over the
weekend …
