GUANGZHOU!!

We were unable to post in Guangzhou, so here is a late posting of a few pictures. Guangzhou was very Americanized and geared toward all the Westerners adopting. There were lots of shops right outside the hotels....shopping mayhem...got much better at haggling prices on my second day of shopping, which made me realize the not so great deals i got on the first day of shopping...oh well, had lots of fun and brought home many things to remember our trip. Our three days here when way to fast.
