Okay so it's been almost a week since I was back from Guangzhou but I didn't really have time to update.
Guangzhou was great by the way ! Cheap stuff & good food! Was at the fabric market for 4 out of the 5 days cos it's so fucking huge you can't finish walking through even in 3 days. The weather was kinda nice in the last couple of days cos it started turning cold!
We go to China!

Gorgeous view of the sunrise! Our flight was 6.20 in the morning ya.
With Joey & Luvenia while on the plane. :)
We had Jap food in the hotel after checking in. This was some half cooked pigeon egg which nobody dared to touch.
While waiting for our lecturer.
We made such a mess at the Japanese restaurant where we held our consultation after dinner.
Fucking awesome street food ! Grilled squid & chicken. & with a pile of samples in hand.
Guangzhou's fabric market is great cos there are like rows and rows and samples for your taking whereas in Singapore the shopkeepers are really reluctant to even give you scraps.
Super cheap salmon sashimi which cost S$8 per plate.
Zhongda fabric market. Crazy shit market where nobody gives way and carts swerve all around you. It was like playing dodge ball. There could be 10 to 15 bicycles/carts loaded with fabric jammed in one area and everyone was screaming at each other to move on. And it happens really often. I was stuck in the jams like countless times.
We wanted to cross the road and our security guard led us to the fence. I got a shock when he totally jumped over the fence and expected us to follow suit. I am not as nimble okay. And I was wearing a skirt. We squeezed ourselves against the fence and walked next to the vehicles driving past. FUCKING SCARY.
Ah Wei, our security guard in blue. :))
More fooodddd. Sheena with some middle eastern pastry thing and grilled meat on skewers!
Dinner at some chinese eatery opposite the hotel.
This is like the best damn thing ever. Meat pastries 肉饼!
冰糖葫芦! Candied fruit. Found it in their 7-11. HEE.
Shopping trip! On the ride to the dim sum place for breakfast on the second last day.
With Ashley & Gabby.
Table full of glorious dim summmmm.
I always wanted to try this. Osmanthus cake aka gui hua gao.
A single pau.
Ashley & Joey!
HEHEHE.
Sheena eating this awesome durian puff thing. It has this thin layer of pastry skin with durian cream and cake inside.
Belle, Xin Kai and I walked down one of the alleyways with street food and more shops on the last night!
Dinner at some eatery. I thought 猪仔饼 (猪means pig) had pork in it but it turned out like this. Okay so I have atrocious mandarin.
Goodbye Guangzhou, with your cheap stuff and food. :(
Back to Singapore!
