Guangzhou at Night

Be sure to scroll down to the Red Couch photo; Eleanor Yan Lin is third from the left.

 

Guangzhou is positively neon at night. Whole buildings are wired (tubed?) with neon and flashing lights, while boats make their way up and down the Pearl River ferrying dinner guests and sightseers.

 

This is the first and only city Sarah and I have visited that has exhausted her shopping mojo; she actually said "I am shopped out." This declaration came only after she bought twenty orr thirty dresses and/or outfits for Eleanor, naturally, but it was impressive to see her subcontract shopping to a friend's 18 year old daughter so that she could rest. Because our plane was late arriving in Hong Kong, I fear she may have some backup special mojo in reserve for shopping in the new city...
