I kinda got my way with it. Or so I think.
Anyways, I like it there.
Hate the pollution tho. I still wonder how people survive there. I think they're born with bionic lungs or something. The air is constantly foggy and the sun is practically red there. And it looks as if the sun is looking in on the country, the light had the tunnel effect.
Macau was beautiful. The casinos and all...
Zhu Hai was fashionable. Guangzhou was windy and cheap!
Ok. practically everywhere in China would be cheap for us.
On the highway from Zhu Hai to Guangzhou, all you see is fog and a faint silhoutte of tall furnace towers. And the surrounding is grey. It is just like in those industrial movies! and if you dare to wind down the windows, like I did, you'll smell nothing but burnt plastic! LOL!!
China is a health hazard for someone like me. Asthmatic. Why?
ON TOP OF THE AIR POLLUTION, everyone in Zhu Hai smokes. In the toilet, in the restaurant, in the shopping centre, in the cab, in the hotel room. Its like the entire state smells of cigarette.
everyone stares at me in hopes to strike a conversation asking me if i understand mandarin... my answer was: Yi tian tian (alittle bit) and they stare at me in awe. me: -.-"
then they asked me why is it that i'm from singapore and i dont know how to speak mandarin...
and my answer was... malay-ren, pu tong man-yun. ing-yun only! (Malay, dunno how to speak mandarin. English only)
WAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!
so they are in the opinion that I am beautiful, pretty, good looking, and my eyes are mei ren... which i found out meant amazing. coz i was staring at the sales girl in confusion when this guy came up to me and translated it to me. by the time he finished translating, I was red. By the time he agreed with everything the sales girl said... I could no longer maintain eye contact. LOL!
And yes, I had the moses effect when I was there. I parted the red sea when I enter a shop and it grew quiet and then I will be the only customer with various sales assistant literally standing in my face staring at me. It is actually quite unsettling.
But hey, their compliment actually made me feel good about myself. and seriously, to be complimented by those girls, i was honoured can... They're so good looking. I can't help admiring them lor!
So who am i to complain rite? just grateful and embarrassed.
I bought a panda soft toy... and called it... Post. In memory of a particular cute, grin worthy incident i had in Guangzhou.
If you guys were wondering, Yes, i did try the casinos... and yes, with my mom's permission.
