So on a perfectly beautiful Saturday she and I took the bus into the city and hit the streets with our cameras and senses of adventure. We took side streets narrow alleys the road less taken at least for foreigners. Whenever I do this I find a side of China that I don39t often see quiet peace curiosity genuine kindness. There39s no ru http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-782031.html Guangzhou in a dayAfter spending 10 days in Hong Kong for the Chinese new year my first taste of China was Guangzhou and what a shock to the system it was. I arrived by train slightly late as i had missed my first train after i passed through customs and into Guangzhou station your greeted by what is a heaving mass of people. no one there spoke English most the signage was in Chinese and nobod http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-781396.html My favorite week of the term Student groups write plays not for themselves but for another group in the class. The next week they practice and perform. Here are my favorites of the term One group did a quick rewrite to include a student who39d been absent last week. They decided he was Garlic the vegetable and was responsible for all the problems two couples were having where one half of http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-781065.html As my students say Long long ago there was a man. Depending on who you talk to the next part will either be that he liked pineapples brought pineapples planted pineapples or was from the Kingdom of Pineapples Magadha. No matter he was a foreigner who came to China during the Tang dynasty and he landed ashore in Guangzhou. Then he left. And somehow chickens are involved.

Located within Taikoo Hui Mall the decor of Jade Garden followed a modernfusion theme. It was weird that western teapots and cutlery could coexist together with Chinese chopsticks and spoons. The attractive dim sum menu was colourful and the pictures were certainly useful http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-780129.html Even if I used all of my abilities I was not sure that I could hit the penguins certainly.I was very nervous we did not have plenty of your efforts and energy and effort and my wraiths in my human body sensed my sensation but now they even could not Guild Wars 2 Gold silver for me.There is the excellent Melandru and I think we should use the durability of the charm.

First up was a fantastic dim sum breakfast at Guangzhou Restaurant about 10 minutes walk from our apartment. While the prices did not come in cheap the three of us agreed that this was money wellspent for the freshly made dim sum in a traditional setting.Our journey continued to the rive http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-779715.html Like a branch involving environment layout environmental style and ecological engineering permaculture designis really a indisputable fact that advances architecture that is selfkeeping in addition to garden that39s selfmaintained.

I remembered back then the few of us travelled to HK Macau as part of our graduation trip for 10 days. Actually we did attempt to organise a trip to Bali a couple of years later but it had to be cancelled due to some security concerns.So there we were 7 years down the road.

Hadn39t said apparently. She was a little bit speechless which doesn39t happen often.Information first Can39t get facebook on eother iphone or notebook maybe it is banned here.Transitting through Guangzhou with a stopover. I have a 14 hour overnight stopover here as it was the cheapest flight I could find. The internet http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-773596.html When I was in Bangkok last summer I became friends with a sweet woman from Mozambique. She was in my CELTA course so we spent a lot of time together not only in class but also on the weekends trying to think about anything other than class.As luck would have it she39s now accepted a job in China starting this spring. She won39t be teaching in Guangzhou but she stopped to visit me for 5 http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-771739.html GUANGZHOUno photos sorryI arrived in Guangzhou gwongjoe airport an hour past midnight. After 12 hours of flying time from SFO to Beijing waiting 2hours at another gate in that airport and then making a second shorter hop of 4 hours from Beijing to Guangzhou I think its safe to say that today was a LONG travel day.I make it through the customs checkpoint in Beijing hasslefree so walk http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-771150.html Happy almost New Years Chinese New Years at least. Well Im a few weeks into my vacation and honestly it feels like its been forever since Ive last worked. I cant believe Im getting paid for this So anyway my first trip so far was to Guangzhou to visit some foreigner friends. I got to talk with people who fluently knew English eat some pizza and other western foods and just http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-769267.html So winter break is here and I39m finally doing something with itBut first lets recap since New Years has come and gone. So after NY I pretty much was planning on wasting class time until the week of the 7th when exams would start. There was very little to teach but I still was scheduled to have a slew of make up days during the weekend of the 5th these however were mostly cancelled b http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-767016.html I had free time today and read about the journalists on strike at China Southern. The journalists request that new minister of censorship step down and offer a public apology. That39s the real story. Former investigative journalist Tao Zhen has become captain hush working as new propaganda chief and increasing censorship of Guangzhou39s usually more liberal press. Tuo Zhen is the target of http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-764897.html Yesterday I took several photos of an ongoing demoliton in Guangzhou39s Liwan District. Numerous Xiguan Style Villas with a mix of architectural styles are being destoryed. What makes this story interesting is the creative resistance of the neighborhood. When I photographed the demoliton many remaining structures had the word stop painted on them instead of demolish. The Enning http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-764718.html It was a year of many parties and fun this year.On Saturday I went to dinner party number one hosted by one of the other teachers here. I went last year and had a blast so when the invite was given this year I jumped at the chance to go again. Lots of good homemade food lots of imported wine lots of laughs. My kind of night.After the dinner party was the annual Xmas party hosted by the unive http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Guangdong/Guangzhou/blog-762533.html
