Grab breakfast in the Asia International restaurant rotating at 46 stories above Guangzhou. Daylight looks different. Pearl River valley jungle onside and stretching tenements and skyscrapers rising up in the other. I cab 20 minutes to the Guangzhou East station. No signs in English and I walk around trying to read chinese before I find an English speaking agent who confirms the right track and that my ticket is correct. Train is very nice, high speed, and airconditioned. In Shenzhen ....I'm surprised how easy it is to spot Adrian and my new 2nd cousin Ian (5mnth old). We grab a cab and head out to the beachy - resort suburb up the coast where Adrian's wife , Cat, works for a large Chinese real estate company - Vanke. Great visit to her office, lunch, their apartment, and then back to the train station after 5 hours. I walk around to the area malls and watch the Shenzhen youth culture teeming in the streets. Get back to Guangzhou and its too late for dinnner with my colleague so I walk up the street and find some $.80 DVDs of recent run movies the girls will enjoy.
