Ayat and I went to Guangzhou yesterday for a look around (again), the railway station there was really busy so we decided to buy the tickets home in the morning. Good job we did, when we got back to the station it was heaving and most of the tickets were sold. Dennis told us that 100,000 people will try to take the train home for the new year holiday this weekend, 40,000 will be disappointed !!! There were people everywhere, never seen anything like it.
We saw an army officer park his BMW in the wrong place at the station, the police dragged him out of the car and an almighty row ensued, although we couldn't understand what was being said it was quite entertaining, they eventually let him go.
In the supermarket the other day we saw something new on the meat counter, dogs paws !!! can you believe it ? and I thought the frogs were a revelation.
Just finished packing and will be leaving for HK at lunchtime, got a bit of shopping to do, then to the airport.
So this will be the last for a while, found it harder to write this time, I guess because we've got used to being here and not so much seems extraordinary.
See you all soon,
Neil.
Song for the day : Take the long way home, Supertramp.
