back from cheena land! maybe it's coz we both juz came back fr US n thailand so tis wasnt as anticipated as i hoped but we still enjoyed ourselves :) tis is another place where u can spend/live/eat lk a king.

guangzhou really isnt a tourist-friendly place. e tourism there isnt developed n pple always look shocked when we say we're here for leisure. many thanks to my dad who gave me a vitual tour of e area before we went. they came back abt a wk before we left. they booked e trip before us n had to pay a penalty if they were to change their dates to coincide with ours. anw we juz had to do more research before goin. thats all. everyting there is really cheap! prob coz there isnt much cheat tourists places. u noe wat i mean?

tat said, it's a rather developed place. their metro system can rival spore's mrt. no doubt abt it. clean, efficient n v cheap! costs onli abt 40-50cents. they also use cards similar to our ez-link card to tap although one-way tickets come in e form of tokens which can b tapped too. e high rise buildings there r v pretty too. lk our pebblebay n bayshore. also when we were there i noticed they have ALOT of construction goin on. lk every few blocks is a construction site. it's a v fast developing country.

one interesting ting we noticed there was there were v few youngsters on e streets when we were there. my relative told us thats coz all their universities n collages are built in tis area called university town. all e students stay in that town and onli go home during e wkends. we had so much difficulty finding places to chill n club. n there is practically no western food there! n finally on our last day we managed to spot one western restyaurant. n it turn out to b rather disappointing. boo! but our luck with food was pretty gd. we had really gd dim sum n jap food. n e best part - it's all damn cheap. lk we can walk into a damn posh restaurant n pay lk juz 30-40 sing.

i also smoked my very first cigarette in my life! was high aft finishing a whole bottle of sake juz me n dear. but i really cant get it right lar. duno when to suck n puff n all. ended up coughing n not feeling high. dun worry im not addicted to it. n i onli allow ah koh to smoke coz we're holidaying.

tings we bought. spent less than expected. i bought lk 4 pairs of shoes. 3 bags. 1 belt. 2 dresses. 15 tops. 2 skirts. plus accessories. dear bought quite abit of stuff too! he bought tis cheap a&f polo tee which is really v real. i mean if it's fake it's really v v real lor. he regretted not buying more. lotsa imitation stuff there too. though we didnt buy much.

tis is how we felt aft e trip. wasnt a relaxing trip lar. i guess when shopping is involved it's always tiring. oh forgot abt macau. we went macau for one day. i didnt noe we needed passport to enter macau but luckily e lady told us. anw it's abt 2hrs plus away fr guangzhou. e casinos there r lk crazily grand. we onli played in casino lisboa. e building is lk all gold. gold leh. siao 1. i mean obv not real gold lar. but super grand. anw they use hongkong dollar to gamble in there which i found quite weird. macau was one of e best day on e trip. if onli my feet didnt hurt from e new heels. boo! all in all it was a fruitful trip :)
