Sep 7, 2005 - China Baby bring her on! - Guangzhou (Guangdong Province)

Got up and checked out then made way with my pack down to the bus station in Kowloon, heard from home some very sad news GBAN my trusty steed has passed away due to my lack of consideration when finding a new home for her. So jumped on this lush bus to Guangzhou, probably the poshiest bus I had been on in the whole of Asia it had leather seats, walnut finish everywhere and tonnes of leg room, not what I expected in China at all. ... We pulled into Guangzhou, which again was not what i expected, it was like a messy Hong Kong without the huge skyscrapers. ... Plus I couldnt believe they had electric and gas buses, the chinese trying to save the environment whats going on.Got up and checked out then made way with my pack down to the bus station in Kowloon, heard from home some very sad news GBAN my trusty steed has passed away due to my lack of consideration when finding a new home for her.

We came to China via Guangzhou, and will leave again from here. ... We also came through Guangzhou on our way back from the trip North and when mum and Alex came to visit. ...
