We have had another busy day here, we started with a late breakfast and headed down to Tianhe shopping centre it is fantastic, the stores there are so out there the interior is like being in some sort of contemporary art gallery...and they had bubble tea so I risked it all and had some....they didn't have green tea but they did have pearls so I did the half sugar, strawberry black tea with pearls....though I had to throw it in the bin to go into Uniqlo, where I didn't buy anything but the boys brought heaps....
Greg and Dan tried 3 different places for coffee today man they sound like the 3 bears, it's to cold, it's to weak, it's just awful....so no real luck with the coffee as yet...We took the subway up and back and boy did we get some strange looks.....a grandma sent her grandson over to us to say hello but he just stood there, I looked down and here the poor kid was...so a hello was said and grandma was all happy cause he spoke to us in English and away they went waving to us....we were also looking at the subway map to work out where we wanted to go to and a teenager came over and started helping us on which line we needed where we were to get off etc....back for a parcel drop off at the hotel and a toilet stop ( don't ask me about the toilets I don't know how women can go in their ones, I was worried I would fall in) and we headed up to the antique market.......we now are the proud owners of some really good fakes or some nice antiques....oh well we like them either way...the boys have gone for a massage and when they get back we will head out again...boy the Internet is running at a very slow speed tonight.

Mode of transport last night to get back to the hotel, lucky Greg and I faced backwards cause streets are one way but bikes go anyway that they want...yes we went the wrong way up the one way streets... |
Wow, interesting day :)
