The strangest thing about here is that I can access blogspot's Dashboard page and type all this out but I cannot access my blog or any others themselves. Strange, maybe China blocked them. Stranger still that they didn't block the Dashboard page. Hmm.
One thing I've learned - no in fact, the FIRST thing I learned - while in China is to fear for your life while crossing roads. In Singapore, you have errant taxi drivers and mad pedestrians. In Guangzhou, you have ERRANT taxi drivers and MAD pedestrians. Gettit? Here, it's a free-for-all on the roads. To help you see a clearer picture of the daily traffic situation, imagine a street scene with all the rules about pedestrian safety, overtaking and basic road courtesy all thrown out the window. Replace them with utter havoc where all road markings are completely and delightfully ignored and you have yourself a typical Guangzhou road. It is that mind-bogglingly chaotic.
Today was pretty sedate. We didn't do much and we ended up just going to the hotel, grabbing lunch, walking around outside and then having dinner and then back to the hotel in which I'm typing this now. GZ's pretty chilly around this time of year, with temperatures ranging from the mid-20s to the mid-10s. It's no bad thing - I could do with some cold after all that nonsense weather back home. Tomorrow should be a more exciting read.
Love all :)
