Woke up after a lovely sleep, went for a Club breakfast and drinks, had a little accident in the shower - don't worry - nothing serious. :) Later we went to an area called 789 street (or something similar), which is a place where a lot of frustrated artists built they galleries. We visited numerous galleries and watched grotesque pictures and statues, but, of course, didn't buy a thing, as can be expected. :) After that we went to the Silk market, which is the fa...

WOW, what a day! Checked out from SOfitel Royal Lagoon in Dongguan, and they even managed to screw up our chek out, since they called us a cab that could not carry our two suitcases to the airport, so they ended up sending us to the airport with the hotel's car at half the price they originally wanted. Ha ha! :) They told us that since May 2nd is a national holiday, the drive to the airport ought to take apx. 2 hours with traffic, but it only took 45 minutes, so ...

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.

Today we learnt that our flight home next week is to be delayed for 21 hours, so we booked a room for another day in Beijing. Yay! :)

After a good night sleep in the HUGE suite, we woke up to a rainy morning (yet 29 degrees...), had a nice breakfast, went to the pool for a while. Soon we're off to the lounge (since it's been 2 hours since we last ate...) and then to some local cheap shopping. This afternoon, we're planning to join the planet in watching the royal wedding in London, and although we were not invited to the wedding (<sigh>...), we wish the future king and queen of England al...
