A trip to Guangzhou

I'm spending the weekend in Guangzhou with friends. I've come down to watch a couple of them play in a rugby match outside the city in Foshan, but it's also my birthday weekend, so we're staying down here to explore the city a bit. Did I mention it's also a holiday weekend? So we'll have some extra time as well. 

I left my kindergarten students after classes and barely made it to the train station in time to catch my train.

Travel by train is always great in China. If nothing else works here, the trains almost always run on time and, of course, they're incredibly fast, so we can get all over the country in no time. Even a trip to Beijing is only eight hours away.

Anyway, once I'd arrived in Guangzhou, it was a simple matter of finding my hotel, which took about 1-1.5 hrs. It turned out to be in the first place I looked, but no matter. I found a really cool temple while exploring.

Anyway, I'll post more sites as I explore the city. I've been here several times before, but there's still a lot I haven't seen...
