The weather has certainly warmed up here. It is definitely tropical. Very hot and humid with pop up thunderstorms. But I still try to walk as many places as I can to get exercise.
I am fascinated by the men who write Chinese water poems on the tile. I see them often when I walk through parks or along the river. They use special brushes to make the characters.
Every different season, workers plant flowers in the many gardens around the city. Each season brings different beauty. On one of my runs I actually stopped to smell these flowers.
In the past weeks I have gone to a few activities here in Guangzhou. This was the Am Cham ball. The theme was the greatest show. It was a fabulous time with friends with great food and lovely dancing. Here I am with my friend Nicole. She leaves in a few weeks to move to Egypt. I’ll miss her.
The food was wonderful and artistically presented. This was just the desserts.
What a wonderful night.
The next morning I participated in a helipad workout again for charity. It was a beautiful day and a great workout.
The city is so large.
In this direction is where I live now towards the river.
This is the direction towards Tianhe. I will be moving there to a new adjustment at the end of this school year.
A week later I met with Lilly. She was at the Am Cham ball and we had a great time dancing. She was a lot if fun and I met her son at a Cantonese restaurant.
Deep fried squid.
Afterwards we visited the largest bookstore in guangzhou. It was next door to the restaurant.
Many levels with cafes mixed throughout.
