I went to Guangzhou in China from Saturday till Sunday to see Chang, a guy I know from Brisbane. Even though Guangzhou is only a two hour train trip away you can definitely notice a difference; it is more crowded, less high tech, has plenty of bicycles, things are cheaper, people speak no English and the pollution is even worse than in Hong Kong. We went to museums and temples, eat lots and spent some lovely hours in spa where one of the activities included sticking your feet into a pool of small fishes. The fish would then eat the dead skin of your feet. Yummy.
Dragon in a park - all the leaves are dead as China has had an unusually cold winter. The coldest winter in 50 years to be exact.

Hege and Chang in front of year of the rat decoration.
Guangzhou is all about eating. What about some deep fried shrimps with cake sprinkle on them?
Traditional Guangzhou breakfast. Tastes better than it looks=)
"Wanna try some snake heads? It's good for you" - the Chinese thinks almost everything is edible and have some sort of health benefit. The next photos are from a sea food market next to a restaurant we ate at.
These worms are probably healthy too.
Not quite sure what this is, but it is probably good for you.
You can pick the one you like and they'll cook it for you in the restaurant next door.
Turtles... Mmm...
Or what about some alligator?
