Come to think about it...i just realized tat the content of the last few blog entries didn't actually reflect the title of this blog " What's so amazing about China". But...well...u knowww....ora opo opo yahhh hehehe
So...my journey continued...
We took a shuttle bus from the Venetian to the border between Macau and China called ZhuHai Border...it was a 15-20 mnts ride. The two borders were walking-distance apart...so it was perfectly convenient. Once we entered China teritory..we were greeted by CTC booth (China's biggest travel company..i suppose?) which provided bus services to the neighbouring cities. So we took the bus from ZhuHai to GuangZhou (GZ). It cost us 60Rmb/ride and the journey was about 2 hrs.
The first i did when i reached GZ was to meet up with Cebong and Vredi hehehehe....miss them lots!! Anyway...we met up @ 上下九路 for a dinner:
Anyway...we had a great hot pot dinner....total cost was 120RMB for 5 adults. Most importantly..it was GOOD! Its nothing like the 小肥羊 which we had in Xiamen. Absolutely worth the try :) A random pick of restaurant turned out to be an affordable feast indeed hehe.
The scenery which can't be seen in Xiamen heheh how i wish Xiamen has such shopping centres....Its gonna mark the beginning of my shopping spree! hehehe
We parted for the night since they have a curfew at the hostel hehehe...
The next day..Ceb & Vred decided to accompany us from noon onwards ( at the expense of the day's class --> heheh yah ngk ceb? *wink* ) We went to yi de lu to this mall which specially sells all the cute little items for wholesale...meant for those traders...altho they do sell them in retail too. These are some of the things which caught our attention:
All these are made of hand towels..folded and decorated to look like food..aren't they just adorable???
There were much more of other stuff such as potpourri...soft toys...paintings...pajangan2...and tonnes of other small stuff. Bet those things which we saw in malls were purchased here hehehe...all those brg2 tinte :p
One of my interesting observation was the number of colored people purchasing all these wholesale stuff and carried them in this large black plastic bag (like our garbage bag) or in their huge luggage hehhe..must be traders!
Then we made our way to 北京路 as part of the must-go itinerary. And that marked the beginning of our photo-spree heheh:
Ceb...ceb....tsk tsk tsk...hihiii
And even without anyone helping us with the camera:
One of the snack which they introduced to me...grilled cuttlefish which happened to be local's favorite especially during such winter.
That marked the last nite spent with Ceb & Vred @ GZ hikss....But will certainly return to GZ for another unforgettable shopping spree with u guys heheh.
Intermezzo...some of the findings from GZ airport:
A little boy peeing into an empty water bottle (the toilet is just nearby??! Why???)
And the best of all: A liquid abandoned place --> huhhh??
