day 2: Chao Zhou

started the morning with comfort food - Teochew kway chap!! a little different from the Singaporean version but still nice to see food that are close to our hearts here!

our driver cum local guide then drove us to this place which apparently used to be a very vibrant capital city during the Tang/Song/Ming/Shang??? (one of them lah) dynasty but now an old village with very few inhabitants.

the trip carried on here where we found the REAL "ah balling" - it is only now that i know 鸭母埝 is the Teochew name! #enlightened-again..

this 湘子桥 cost us 50 RMB (nearly 10 SGD) just to cross!! - BY FOOT HOR. ok lah boh bian must do touristy stuff right..

my travel buddy this time - also a fellow Teochew - "AN!". was glad we did this trip together as i felt i found a new friend. :)
