Guangzhou (Canton)

China!!
This amazing city of 9 million, a show place mostly developed post-cultural revolution, is clean and orderly. Even though people pretend to be open-minded, superstition abounds. There is a Buddha for every taste, legends explaining events and attitudes and museums galore, the later slightly hampered by the destruction of all that was beautiful or intellectual during that despicable ten years of chaos.
The food was exotic and the people were friendly and optimistic.
Tonight we are on our way to Hong Kong.
