Guangzhou

Got to Guangzhou airport with few problems and the flight was equally
fine, typical domestic chinese travel really, but the food is usually
not too bad!
Arrived in Guangzhou and took the metro to our hotel right on the
river bank. Arriving there we found we had no reservation! But it was
pretty cheap to just get a twin room so we did that instead for
16pounds.

Spent the next couple of days around Guangzhou exploring the sites and
at lunchtime meeting up with a friend of mine who lives in Guangzhou
and she showed me around a bit and some cool places!
In the evening I went for dinner with her and had frogs meat and super
spicy beef, but it was very tasty!

The next night my friend was busy so instead we met a guy in the hotel
and went for some food with them instead. As we sat down for a beer at
a street cafe around the corner we got talking to some other chinese
people I recignised from the hotel. As always the conversation started
with "wow you are a teacher, where are you from?" I replied near
Wenzhou, and the guy said wow where near wenzhou I am from there. Oh a
small province, Cangnan, Wow Cangnan I am from there which town!
Lingxi, wow that is my hometown! We met another guy from our tiny town
in the Hostel, and whats more he had met Chris once in a night club
with the guys from DD long! China really is a small country! haha.
Spent the evening with them chatting and drinking in the street until
5am when we finally headed back to the hostel but lulu a chinese girl
and Felix the guy from Lingxi really wanted to go to KTV. We went back
to the hotel and had one more beer while we waited. Chris turned it
down but decided to go out to KTV at 5am so we grabbed a taxi to a
place that felix new and tried to go in. We got to the door but they
said they were closed! Felix tried his best to use the foreigner card
and pretending that I had friends inside I needed to see but they were
having none of it and so we had to head back outside. We went across
the road to a small shop, bought some beers, and sat by the river
watching the sunrise and the morning joggers come out and drank our
beers! Very cool! Before heading to bed around 8am!
