Guangzhou

Took a week of vacations 2 weeks ago. One was to go for a weekend trip to KL, mainly to catch the ATP Malaysian Open which was my previous entry. The other was to go for another weekend trip to Guangzhou with the Lup Sup gang (ok, those guys will kill me for saying that) Basically, these guys are from the Bloomberg chat rooms, consisting of friends from the university, not exactly the closest friends that i have, but bonded well since we chat almost everyday about work related topic and of course bullshitting around as well.

I know Guangzhou is probably not exactly the most popular tourist place, but heck it, good friends, cheap food, cheap drinks, is all that matters. Dun expect too much from the place and might be pleasantly surprised, but the buds are good! Pure sin, sleaze (ok, i am talking big). Partying is damn good!

Pictures as follows....

Ti Yu Xi road..the same street where our apartment was.

One more......

Posing in front of my camera in our clubbing attire. Time to hit the clubs! We went for 2 consecutive nights, mind you! Drinks? 1 bottle of Chivas cost RMB 499 only, complete with mixers!


Shagged look after a crazy night out, but still we dragged ourselves to yum cha :)


To prevent us being labelled as lup sup chiongsters, we threw in some cultural sightseeing as well. This one below is the Sun Yat Sun Memorial Hall.


Statute of the 3 rams which is located inside some park

personally, this is the hightlight of my cultural tour. The tomb of one of the emperor.



Guangzhou's night can look beautiful as well. :)

Cheers to our short but fun GZ trip. We shall do another trip real soon!
