Ok this shall be the last post of my free China trip. Last stop was in GuangZhou where we spent 2 nites and the hotel wasn’t anything near comparing to the first hotel we stayed in Macau. The whole GuangZhou, China thing is already creating a very big impact on perception on the group of students I was bringing. It couldn’t help to change this negative perception as everything we went through was not total disastrous but again in comparison to Macau.

Before I leave for this trip, my mom kept on telling me there are a lot to shop in Guang Zhou. (my uncle used to work there), and can get even roti canai because there are demand for Malaysian food. But when I was there, ‘tak perasan’ also. And toilets are still the same, I shouldn’t comment cos its known to all.

When everyone was busy shopping, we took photos around of the lightings and the crowded street.

First night only the Street No.9 walking around, we head back to the hotel. Checheck in, shower and lepak in the girls room. The next morning, we were allowed to sleep in later (till 7am) and after breakfast we depart at 8am for our city tour. Destination was not the highlight. Went to some memorial, park and then more SHOPPING in Beijing Street (yeah we were in GuangZhou but we get Beijing too)

So pictures were more entertaining so lets proceed.

Guess where is that???

Dr. Sun YatSen Memorial

Then we went to the famous ‘five goat hill’. Why and how they named it like that, go google it

(whatever that is written on the hill was supposed to be the name of the place I guess) We spent some time in the park letting the students experience the local cultural. Every morning and evening or in fact whenever they are free, (the locals older generation) they will hang out in the park and ‘exercise’ while socializing.

The students are typical city boys and girls, never experience any of this before and wanted to challenge the local crowd. I prayed hard they don’t malu-fy themselvesand true enough after a few rounds of practice among themselves, they gave up. Should have seen how flexible those ‘uncles’ and ‘aunties’ with that ‘bulu tangkis’.

The maybe correct way, at least they can pass it around to three people before it went into the bush or hit another crowd.

Next will be the WRONG way…

The stylo-mylo but never got the tangkis style.

The I close my eyes and turn to the back so i can imagine better style.

The ‘who said high heels cannot do sports’ style.

And many more styles they have created that i have no idea how to explain. some treat the tangkis as football, some as tennis ball so people just imagine how much sweat and what is the smell of the bus once we got back on the bus.

Later we were brought to the ‘Tan Library’. So they said it was build by the Tan families that were in GuangZhou to let they children have a place to study. Every Tan family contributed in the fund raising and some in construction to build this library and their kids can utilized the facilities.

What do you expect from the library? Books rite? but i found none and only an old structure with a lot of history behind it. After like two minutes walking around we went a lil restless.

And this gurl just did that and ask us to snap a photo.

Then two wanted to take a ‘jumping’ shot

Then i wanted to jump into the pond with the gold fish.

Then one was just posing with whatever she can see.

Then we went around and find interesting stuff to make pictures look not so boring.

Went to the garden and took group photo.

and Check out my part time boyfriend.. OMG so ‘hiao’ to the max..

The rest of the day was not too picture productive. Went for the river cruise and one girl got so sick i had to skip the discussion session and went back to the hotel with her. Missed out the birthday batch celebration after the discussion and got a good rest for the next day’s journey back home.

Early morning check out and here i am, back in where i’m supposed to be safely.

p/s:Oh ya, Burberry in the airport was cheaper and i almost got the handbag but should i say ‘luckily’ or too bad i was in a hurry to catch the flight..Bye Bye Burberry..Anyone going to GuangZhou?
