We're off to Guangzhou now - a quick 1:45 minute train ride from Hong Kong. We're really going to miss this place - the great subway system, the super cheap taxis, the beautiful people-so friendly and helpful, plus most speak English, and of course, the shopping.

We will especially miss our hotel which was a real indulgence for us. http://www.langhamhotels.com/langhamplace/hongkong/ The hotel features modern art by local artists-the photo here is of a sarcastic sculpture in the lower lobby representing the blind worshipping of Maoism during the Cultural Revolution and now, the blind worshipping of capitalism - it's titled, "Red Guard - Going forward! Making money!
