FISHING~

Alright. I went fishing today but only after going so much yuan wang lu. We went to a place recommended by darling's school bus driver and its so far from the city area. Its such a different experience. The place looks so 'not shanghai'. Well, we finally reached the destination after a hard time waiting for a taxi. The place is like a farm where they grow vegetables and theres a small pond in the middle of no where. Saw a few people fishing with their own fishing rods. DAMN. Thats when we start to suspect we have to bring our own fishing rods. We asked one of the uncles there and yes fuck, we have to bring our own fishing rods. We looked at the people fish for a bit and it started to rain so we have to go. Walked quite a bit before we found a taxi and we decided to go singing. :( Yes i thought that was the end of fishing trip.

We decided to go a park behind darling's university to look at the fishing rods and I bought my OWN fishing rod. :P Bought some earthworms and went to the park to fish. It was almost 4.30 when we settled down fishing and the park closes at 6. Yes it was my first time fishing in a lake where there are trees around and when i threw my fishing rod out, i hit the tree. :P The fishing lines were caught by the tree brunches and i couldnt get it out. A kind man came over in a boat and offered to help me 'free' the lines. Before helping, he said, 'diao yu hai shi diao shu'. wtf. it was so embarrasing. i continued fishing and i thought i caught a fish and when i tried to pull it up, it was so fucking heavy. I thought it must be shark to be so fucking heavy. I pulled it up and.. no it wasn't a shoe, it was a fucking rubbish bag full of water in it. Sigh, yi chang huan xi yi chang kong. We dabao and went out of the park as it was closing empty handed. :(

Went back to the fishing shop and saw a shanghainese man buying loads of fishing bait and glowing lights. I asked him where to fish at night and he said its in the university. Darling studied there for 4 years and never realised people fishing inside the school. He gave us some tips and asked if we wanted to join him. We went with him and saw him with another friend fishing with those 'professional' fishing rods. The fishes they caught were so big and were 2-3kg. He invited us to fish with him but too bad, we threw the earthworms away and their baits wouldnt be suitable for my fishing rod. Looked at them fish for a while and we went to have our dinner.

The good thing is that he fishes there every weekend so i would go to fish with them tomorrow and they offered to give me some fishing lines that were more suitable. Hope i could learn something new from them tomorrow and go 'professional' like them some day. :)
