We went for a walk this morning. It is extremely humid. We had a few interesting things already happen. We almost got run over by a taxi, we saw a little boy using a bush as a bathroom, and we got to see a cross dresser stop suddenly, throw down his keys on the ground, and appear to put on some kind of performance...or he could have been praying (not sure).
The busses are jam packed with people. It reminds me of the busses at Disney World. So far the traffic doesn't seem too bad compared to NYC when we were there. It is a little scary to see people on bicycles and mopeds weave in and out of traffic. I'm suprised that they don't get run over.
We stopped at the local 7 Eleven to pick up some drinks and snacks while we were out. It is a lot cheaper to get snacks there than at the hotel. We passed a Disney store, but it was not open when we were out. We may stop by there later.
Our tour guide's name is Simon. He gave us a bit of information on half hour ride from the airport last night about Guangzhou. It's an international business center. I think I read somewhere that the population is about two million.
Most of our travel group is not here yet. They arrive this afternoon. Simon has arranged for all of us to go out tonight to dinner. Tomorrow we will have a group meeting so that we know what to expect then it is off to meet our babies.
