We went to the expot site today, we went there at 11am, glad to find out it is not so crowd at the entrance! From the media, we were told there were 220,000 visiters yesterday, and the C area will be the most popular visiting area, forget about US pavilion, and UK pavilion, France pavilion, German pavilian, Italy pavilion, Spain pavilion! The Shanghai Daily said you have to wait at least 3 hours before entering either of them! More than 30 people got sun-burn yesterday.

Expo site at the west bank of Huangpu River is our visit today, less people but more things to see…

Winter is so cold in Guilin

Candy and May came to Guilin for training exchange this winter, they work in our office in Guangzhou and they gonna stay here for three weeks. Lots of plans for good weekends, boyfriends would be standing by for a simple telephone call to join in them, having good vacations in countryside of Yangshuo. They have looking forwarding to having this chance for a long time.

Though they were told before that winter of Guilin is much more colder than Guangzhou, but Candy got cold immediately when she stepped out of the train. The air was freezing! “I wish I could get the first flight back to my warm Guangzhou!” She murmured to herself all the time till she arrived the hotel room. It was a simple bed-n-breakfast style family-runned motel, nothing could be campired to my sweet flat in Guangzhou! She could not sleep at the first night in Guilin, and she could help bursting into tears after two-hour telephone call to her boyfriend…

The first thing Candy did on the next morning was: ask her boyfriend to mail three big packages of little warm-up bags, the sort of thing he used when he used to watch football games outdoor, he would put it on his knees. Candy was told never put it directly on her skin…it would burn my fat? hope so…

Now the girls felt a littble bit warming up…but still need their boys to show up at weekend…for Christmas! For New Year!

Back from Lingding Island

I am so happy to come back to Guilin! After 2 months exchange program in our Guangzhou Office, I do not like this city of concrete jungle at all. The routine of flat-office-flat schedule made me sick, it was so hot, humid and boring in Guangzhou….I really need a break. Before my departure, the trip to Lingding Island gave some fresh air evetually.
