Culinary trip - if you understand what you order This city is definately not my favorite city. I am glad we don't stay longer and can leave tonight. It's an ugly city but I managed to have a nice walk yesterday on the city streets. I hopped on a ferry just in front of our hostel and headed to Shamian island. It's famous for the American couples who wait for their adopted children to legally become theirs. The US consulat is situated on the island. The most inter...

Guangzhou, where they eat dog I re-united with Suvi and Tiina yesterday morning, at seven o'clock. My night spent in the bus was horrible.

Picture post card Xingping Yesterday I said goodbye to the girls and hopped on a bus to Xingping, 40 kilometres from Yangshuo up north. Actually before taking the bus I spent three hours drinking and eating with a girl called Tanya, from Israel. We met her on the cave explore. First I was only supposed to have a cup of coffee but it was so nice and interesting with her that we ended up having even lunch together. As we (T, S, me) always travel threesome we don't...
