Woke up to a beautiful morning and had a nice breakfast. Felt full after it so went back to bed. Hey, today's labour day, afterall. :) 23:30 update: so we ended up chilling in the pool with cool tropical rain pouring from time to time. Got a free dinner and some drinks and took a walk to hear the barking frogs. Yeah, barking. :) Tomorrow we're off to Beijing by an hour taxi and a three hour flight. Bye bye, Dongguan! :)

Got a ride to Dongguan and said goodbye to the incredible suite at humen. Arrived to the hotel, only to discover most of its charm from last year simply wore off. But hey, the view is awesome a d our stay IS free. :) Got a smoking room so switched rooms upon arrival and headed for the pools which were great.

Back in the hotel, we enjoyed the 2600 sq/m pool and ate like pigs. :) Tomorrow - some more relaxation and a visit to the computer market. Cya! :) ...

Left hot Hangzhou by taxi, flight, bus and taxi. Arrived at the wonderfully luxurios hotel in Dongguan. It's after 2:00 so I'll continue tomorrow. Nighty!!! Then came the morning... . The hotel we are staying at is overlooking a big lagoon, encircled with trees, a temple and hills. It is - BY FAR - the most luxurious hotel we've stayed at during this trip. Last night, after dinner (at one of the hotel's 6 restaurants) and a night swim at one of the hotel's pools,...
