Guangzhou reunion...
The Pangs took the 2-hour train journey from Hong Kong to Guangzhou. "It even smells like China", Tina said as we alighted the train. And then our adventure started.
5-stars Tina checked us into the White Swan Hotel, the city's famous 5-star hotel. She warned me: "It's popular with American families coming to collect their adopted Chinese kids..." Hmmm, she wasn't joking...sooo many families and kids. Some new, some reunions...Did you know there's even a book named after the White Swan I found on Amazon?
'Hood We were in town with Dad to see his old neighborhood. That was a bit ambitious considering the directions were still resting in Tina's apartment 300 miles away. Still, we gave it our best shot and as it happens Tina asked a local man who looked a bit older than Dad. And he knew the way!? See the video below...it's a classic.
Gourmet? If you hadn't heard...Guangzhou aka Canton is (in)famous for eating everything! There's nothing that isn't a delicacy. Anything that moves is liable to be sliced, diced and sauted ;-) Hahahaa. Here are some pics of our eating binge.
