I made it to Guangzhou last night, but my luggage didn't! Thankfully, it has now arrived in Guangzhou and should be delivered later this afternoon. Today is a free day, so I wandered around Shamian Island, took some pictures, and had an iced vanilla latte at Starbucks (after they promised that the ice was clean).
Tomorrow is the big day. I should be united with Gianna in the afternoon around 2:30 or 3:00. Thank you, Jesus!!

View from my first room. It smelled rather musty, so I asked for a different room, which, as it turns out is still musty, but not as bad. It is just so humid here! |
