Contrary to what I thought I would lead a more casual and relaxed schedule, I found myself going straight back to work after I returned from Guangzhou.
Anyway these are quick updates of my recent trip:
Gz Shopping
I love GZ shopping. the fashion very Hong Kong-styled BUT at a fraction of the price. But very tricky.....many shops are not fitted with fitting rooms, which probably explains my loot was over 20 t-shirts in 2 hours. If I had to queue for fitting rooms and try piece after piece, it probably won't be so fast. Can you see in the last picture my infamous shopping trolley bag that VB teases me about? I had to unload it in my hotel room twice in 3 hoursA tibetan themed restaurant-bar.
The experience was memorable. I love how the performers, the bar manager and waitresses all got up to do a series of mass dance. Needless to say, we were coaxed into joining them. Even though we were all tired out from the show, we participated for the heck of it and had a great time oggling at the good-looking "tribe" people. What you saw in the last post is the toilet door in the ladies washroom! Exquisite right?
The Makan (food)
It's no wonder my friend Meow Meow, Kit & May rave about the food in GZ. I wouldn't say I'm used to eating all the stuff, but I'm really impressed how you can find 4-storey restaurants in GZ and they are buzzling deep into the night! The bestest food I've had this trip is the "lau mian" (dry stirred noodles) you see in the top row middle picture.....gosh that plain thing tasted so good!The event
I had a great time and I have the following 2 people to thank (you know who you are)
I had some great buys, amongst which are these lovely little hair clips. ooh, I love them so much I wish I had bought more. No more hair bands for bunny ears or devils horn. They can be clipped on and they are extremely cute! I show you in another post
Bought some more for friends' kids. Ms R please take your pick for princess (er...the red mickey is reserved liao....by ME! hahaha)
The last picture is going to make you laugh so hard.

WAH ! how can you shop so much?!!! wooots!
hey, shopping street in guangzhou looks exactly like the one in xiamen - go see in email.
food also looks sama. and yup, restaurants also custom built six- storey monstrosities and FULL all the time. and oh ya, also plenty private rooms.
looks like boom cities in cheena land all the same :)
My thoughts are exactly like imp's. How to buy so much? but next time, i know where to go if I want to shop. :D
Imp, WG- the no-fitting room policy, stretchy fabric and price tag make it all quite possible. check out the latest post
SL-oh ya, got private rooms somemore
haha..r those real cucumbers or wat?!
