GZ, China
arrive Aug 30, 2006
afternoon, taxi straight to Phoenix City Hotel
superb room, double single (queen) bed.. why can't they gimme a king size bed? the room so big, sleep alone.. i also dunno do what inside.. maybe can roll, roll n roll
2 queen size bed
clean, cozy and superbly design bathroom
a painting inside the bathroom
a huge garden outside my room, can sit outside n relax too.. or moon-tan also no problem
this phoenix city... dun pray2 lei, is a small city by itself,
only those rich n loaded can stay here cos very expensive.. and surprisingly, only got 1 market.. and the only hotel, is the phoenix city hotel (with a big phoenix statue in front of the city gate).
PC hotel to office is ard 20 mins while GZ city to hotel take ard 1.5 hours, so we got not much choice instead...
summer again
2nd summer trip after taoyuan, now guangzhou.. damn hot
i jalan2 a while only, sweat.. huh
this GZ city is vibrant and lively.. and surprisingly.. all the ppl here rather doing small business rather than work
so many fake goods here.. imagine in GZ, there's a whole area that are selling watches and is the main distribution center here. now i truly understand why many ppl always go 'tai luk' and get goods, i really know
beside watch centre, there's a distribution centre for leather goods too... so long as branded goods, u'll surely can find in GZ, solid man!
and in GZ, dun be surprise as most ppl also carrying big bag, small bag around.. and for foreigner like hongkie, s'porean, etc.. they'll pull their trolley bag.. these ppl are the 'get goods' ppl.. dun believe?
go GZ, over 10 ppls u see, 6 of them carrying bags or pulling trolley
oh.. but be extra careful at the train station there
train station whereby most ppl assemble there and waiting for their train.. and is the most dangerous place in GZ.
how dangerous?
along the stretch of that road.. u'll see a lots of police kiosk within 50 meters and the police is everywhere within sight
all the police kiosk equip with propaganda tools.. keep repeating the same words "dun accept anything, dun trust anyone or any hospitality especially from the same hometown ppl (lao xiang hao)", beware...
can you imagine that?
and in GZ city, they ban motorcycle to prevent snatch thief, a good move man, i applaud that for their initiative
taxi back from GZ to phoenix city hotel also damn expensive, sgd20+ per trip
and damn funny, no aircon one.. shit.. they open windows, damn it
after reach hotel, my jeans also wet.. my rmb in my jeans pocket.. wet.. damn, damn..
