Shanghai Qibao Ancient Town

上海七宝古镇

one day trip at Qibao Ancient Town in Shanghai, with Evi, Evi's aunt and uncle. 

Evi is my very good friend from elementary school 'til university.

Evi's uncle was my dad's classmate; from whom my dad had borrowed clothes for wedding ceremony .. 38 years ago. 

just this morning, Crystal said, she wanted to go to Shanghai again. mom said, going to Shanghai will need a lot of money. how can mama have so much money to go to Shanghai every week? next time, we will go again with daddy, Angie, grandpa and grandma. 

4月12日晶晶和妈妈去了上海七宝古镇玩。见了妈妈的好朋友：蔡灵珠阿姨，还有灵珠阿姨的姨娘姨父。灵珠阿姨是妈妈从小学到大学的好朋友。原来灵珠阿姨的姨父是晶晶外公的同学。以前38年前，外公外婆结婚时还借了这位爷爷的西服呢 ！

晶晶玩的特开心呢！对妈妈说礼拜六礼拜天还要到上海玩。妈妈说到上海玩要好多钱，哪能每个星期都到上海玩呢! 下次有机会我们再和爸爸,齐齐,爷爷奶奶到上海玩.
