2010's First China Trip

CHINA was never my thing, but due to work, its inevitable that I have to go. I spent my first two days at Dong Guan (東莞) and after that I took a 1+ hour bus ride to Shun De (順德). Thank god my best girl Cindy went with me or else I will probably freak out during my whole trip. You might think I am actually exggerate the ghetto/crazy/unbelieveable/unreal scene of China, but you gotta trust me on this one.

You know you are in China when you see simplified Chinese characters on top of every English word you see. And when there is a Chinese translation for all overseas imported goods.


This may not look like a restaurant in China, but...

... wait till you see the name of the restaurant.

This is something you have to do for every meal. Use hot water to wash your utensils. Even though it doesn't really do much, but it makes people feel better (at least psychological)

BUT, one thing that will make me wanting to go back to China is probably THE FOOD. With not a lot of mulla, you can probably have a very decent meal. I spent two days there. Each day I spent around $100RMB (approximately $114HKD) for food, which is not a lot of money, but I can eat a lot of food already because meals vary from $5-8rmb to hundreds dollars.






On a last note, China is super extreme. People are either super rich or real real poor. People ask me why but I can never explain. Somehow it just doesn't make any sense to me.
