It's been a busy time the last week or so, I had a few friends from Wales come over to China for a bit of a trip. Phil, Stuart and Perry, arrived last Sunday in Guangzhou, where we watched the Arsenal v Man Utd match in the Elephant & Castle, not very Chinese at all... Guangzhou in fact has a bit of an ex-pat community, including British style pubs, serving foreign style pub-food, the first time I have seen this kind of environment for a very long time. To be honest I can't say I have really missed it as there's usually been some acceptable local alternative whenever the need arose for an evening in the pub, though of course I did enjoy it.
After Guangzhou we went to Yangshuo to show them the limestone hill scenery around Guilin and Yangshuo and stayed there a few days. After that, next stop was Macao and I am now in Hong Kong as my Chinese visa expired and I have had to organise a new one to get back into the 'real China'. Meanwhile Perry and Stu have returned home and Phil is back in Guangzhou, I may catch up with him tomorrow before he leaves for a quick drink in the classicly named Irish Bar, "The Paddy Field".
all for now....
