This trip took a lot of preparation. When we weren't married (out of that short period of time), we figured that we should plan a trip during mid-year and travel somewhere in the world. We were set on Vietnam, then the meeting grew bigger and bigger and became a family gathering (from both sides! Now that we're married, this trip was the very first time the both of the families to see each other as in-laws). During this ten-day trip, we decided to do our wedding photography as well without hiring an actual photographer. The list of equipments went on - aside from the obvious (like an DSLR, a tripod, etc), we didn't know wedding photography requires small accessories like veils, wedding gowns (not an extravagant one because it's super hot in Vietnam), bouquets, boutonniere, shoes.. We could buy all these, but we had to practice and supply our own bouquets and boutonniere from local flower shops and stay indoor for half a day and make our own.
Oh, and actually, that was the easy part. Working out every day and toning, eating healthy for the perfect skin for two month was the hardest part. Making the flower crown over Skype video chat at 2am, choosing the perfect nail color because I won't be able to do it (or even if I could, I don't know when I could have done with all these family lunches and dinners), bringing two different sizes of curling irons, preparing for Vietnamese visa for the entry, choosing the matching outfit (super difficult over Skype video chat)..

The very last part of Shanghai was the famous Din Tai Fung. Booin talked about this place more than thousand times. Though two of us already exhausted that morning, passionately found the map and the way. She had said you've gotta taste the truffle shaorongbao. I'd already excited to have the one, with an exotic combination of dimsum ingredients. We ordered some appetizers, and a glass of beer. .. one more appetizer(choisam), shrimp shumai, truffle shaorongbao, shrimp fried rice, and a beef noodle. Absolutely enough for two person. We trained our stomach, inside.
