Listen here gringo, do you have a English problem?, reread my post and discover i sent a torpedo up your ass!

Just kidding buddy, I think you might have misread something, I did the exact opposite, I kept cool and scored the winning points where in the past I might have bailed ..

Nice one Ronan,

Everything comes to those who wait.     You are on the right path now.

What is the name of that  hotel ?   I am going to Guangzhou soon and may well go for that place.

So now I'm  up  decide to check out the local "FamilyMart" convenience store. I got an empty fridge and a hungry stomach.

So I get some water and some beers and then I discover that they do fresh prepacked meals alo, at silly prices..check out the pics below, each meal cost about one euro!!!!

 I just ate the second one, which had a bowl of rice on the bottom and peppered spicy beef in sauce with onions and carrots , green beans in a chili sauce and chili chicken , it was great after i nukked it nice and hot in my microwave!!

This is living, oh and I also just chatted to Sunny in qq, don't anyone dare snap their fingers three times!!

Willy, here is the website - http://www.flsdn.com/

Interesting that the online prices are just a little more expensive than what Yamaha got me and a lot less than what the brochure lists, its great value, I have the "Luxury business city view room (double)" (I think), which is listed at 308 rmb online and is amazing value for what you get

Thanks for the info on the hotel Ronan.

Bit dissapointed with the prepacked meals - Just where are the heads and feet?  

I hope you have not wasted them.

Nice day today.
Got up showered and headed out to meet Yamaha for lunch. She had a friend with her that is going to Boston on an exchange programme to work for a year and they wanted to know about living in the west.
Went to an awesome Japanese restaurant replete with simulated thunderous waterfalls, nothing in Guangzhou is done on a small scale, ever. Amongst the dishes we ate were dumplings in some kind of creamy red sauce and were unbelievable tasting!!
It was pleasant, the girl had worked as a translater before and obviously has good English like Sunny has so it was interesting for both of us. I advised her not to tell fat Americans that they are fat..they will likely get upset haha (In China its stated as a matter of fact and not insult). I advised her to go see a baseball game and a American football game if she wanted to get the full cultural experience. And develop a taste for what Americans call beer!

After that we headed back to Yamaha's office where she pretended to work for as few hours, it was pleasant enough but to be honest its a regular office and felt like my own workplace which is the last place I want to be on vacation at.
It was then time to me to head back to my hotel room and freshen up and then headed out to meet Sunny when her work ended.
She works beside Panyu Square which is a huge square not unlike Tianamen Square in Beijing.
 Motorbikes are banned in GZ city but Panyu used to be a separate city until it was engulfed into the GZ metropolis but it still has its own laws and motorbikes are permitted there. At every Metro exit there's loads of motorbike drivers trying to get you to take a motorbike taxi ride, minus unnecessary stuff like a helmet!! The locals do use them, women and babies, husband wife and kid with driver all unhemleted on a 250cc bike...its quite a sight.
Of course I get gretty by a chorus of  "hello" and bikers patting their seat and nodding at me....no way am i gonna do that..unless its my last day on earth or something.
Sunny met me looking lovel as usual in a sweet black dress and white frilly top and cute girly shoes with little heels on them.
Arm in arm we went to a local restaurant and ate seaweed, some kind of lettuce in sauce that tasted a bit like meat and a hot spicy beef dish washed down with Snow beer (me) and tea (her). Nice meal, cheap at a grand total of 67RMB between the two of us.

There a water fountain display every night in Panyu Square between 20:00 and 20:30, classical music and Chinese traditional music is played out of the public PA system and the the water fountains spout in synch, its utterly fantastic and really impressive.
Everything in that side of the square stopped while this was on ,and kids ran around excitedly in and out of the massive spray blown by a slight wind downstream. Couples hugged, old folk sat on benches and watched in silence and the cool kids on roller-skates pretended not to notice.
After that it started to drizzle a little so I haled and umbrella while Sunny and I strolled around the square embraced close, with classical music still playing and the old folk now doing their Tai Chi thing, really romantic I thought.
At the end of the square is a kind of viewing area with walls to lean against and its clearly a lovers point, many couples sat on the benches hugging and nuzzling.... We hugged for a bit and then shared our first proper kissing and the time just melted away as we discussed the things you do in this kind of situation. Sunny said to me at one point is this a dream?, and where have I been until now (in her life)? which I thought was really sweet.
So the time came for the last Metro back to the hotel and she didn't mind me kissing her goodbye in public one bit and she went off smiling happily as did I.

Am I dreaming or is this really happening to me at at last?
