Great Point
I often forget that these artefacts had a life before the museum. If only we could time travel and see them in their past glories.

Lack of food
I know, I have being more day stuff so food hasn't made much of an appearance recently. I am away at the moment so have taken some food pics for when I get round to posting :）Hope you had some noodles to satisfy the cravings.

It is a great expression. Thanks for reading :)

Shocked
Sorry it's took me so long to reply to this. Work, life and dodgy/slow wifi are to blame ;) Sometimes it's the normal/mundane things that are shocking. The hand sanitiser thing I don't understand in the slightest. I have never read from an official source about the reason foreigners are not allowed in certain hotels. The general reason given online is it is something to do with the registration system, as they upload your details into some local database. It's more problematic to enter the detail of non Mainland ID cardholders, as they need extra stuff like date and port of entry, even though you could have entered years ago. I have had people struggle with my passport validity dates too as they are not used to the day/month/year format and that the months are written in English. Generally most reputable hotels in big cities are fine, it's mainly smaller, local and/or cheaper places or chains that don't allow foreigners. I think it's only happened to me once, where we've booked a place and then the hotel has cancelled because they don't allow non Mainland ID card holders. I must catch up on your recent trip too.

Winter Wind
I loved the winged sculptures too. I should be used to the cold wind from the UK, but I had hoped to escape it in Shenzhen. I'm glad the winter is short here.
