I
n a normal afternoon , I went into a tunnel . When I went out of the tunnel , I found out I was not in Hong
Kong . I ran to a man and asked , " where am I ?" The man replied . " Welcome to old Shanghai . " I was so scared because I was not in Hong Kong . I kept walking forward and then I felt hungry . I asked another man I saw , " What kind of food can I eat here ? " The man replied , " You can eat meat bun ." " What is meat bun ?" I asked " Meat bun is a kind bun with some meats inside the bun , " he said . " There are buns look like animals like pigs and penguins as well ! I can bring you to the meat bun shop to if you want ! " The man said .
After a while , we arrived the meat bun shop . There were different shapes of meat buns in the shop . We ordered many kinds of meat bun and they were all very yummy ! Also , we ate squirrel-shaped mandarin fish in the shop too . it was very yummy !
After the lunch , the man knew I was not living in the old Shanghai . He thought I was a tourist . So he wanted to show me the view of Shanghai . " What is your name ?" I asked . " My name is William . What is your name ? " He asked me . " My name is Marcus . Nice to meet you . " I replied . So where are we going now ? " I asked . William said , " I am taking you to the Shanghai Tang . We can see a beautiful view of Shanghai there ."
Then , we arrived Shanghai Tang . The view was very beautiful . Suddenly , it started to rain heavily . We were all wet . We ran under a big tree . The rain became heavier and heavier . There were huge wind as well . The wind almost blew us away . The weather was becoming worse . So William said , " I will call my driver to pick us up now ! It is so dangerous now !"
Soon , William ' s driver arrived and he drove us to William ' s house . His house was so big . There were many furnitures inside his house . There were many people inside the house . They were all William ' s maid . They were very quiet and polite when William gt back home . " You can stay here before the rain stopped . " William said to me . I never saw a large house like this . The house was so beautiful and tidy . I wished I could live here too ! The rain stopped and later . " Willian replied , ' Oh I hope I can see you again .
When I walked out of the door , it was not the city view of the Old Shanghai . I could see the street view of Mong Kok . I was back to Hong Kong again . I was happy I could com back to Hong Kong , but I also missed William and his big house and the ummy meat buns in the Old Shanghai .
