Updates to My First China Expedition

It was an amazing trip, escaped from Typhoon and an earthquake. Realised how much home is
the best. Still had some fun with ong though! Haha! These are some of the food we had!

26th June: Dinner @ Quanzhou

This was at the restaurant one of the factories brought us to, great food! ! Quanzhou


27th June: Lunch @ Xiamen

Forgot the name of this place, but its right beside our Xiamen hotel, we ate here before we left for the airport to travel to Yiwu, and its delicious! The mango ice was so huge, we couldnt finish it! Think that Jerome would love to finish it, but too bad he was not around!





My steak looks good right!!


Ong's cutlet rice! She couldnt even finish half! It was really a lot of food!


After lunch, we went ahead to walk around and saw this lady haha! carrying her baby so funny, China style!
28th June: Yiwu in a Taxi!

Thought its really amusing why they need to enclose themselves in a plastic cover??



The huge Futian Market




30th June: Dinner @ Yiwu

We have had several days of breakfast @ Yiwu that was sub-standard, so every other day at Yiwu we ate KFC, until we got really sick and tired of it, we are cup noodles. This town does not seem to have any night supper places, well not that we know of. Until one of the folks there brought us to this Szechuan Mala place! Whoo.. now thinking of it, i am getting hungry.. This diced chicken was hot as in really nice! We already told the kitchen to not use the original "spicy" method, to lessen it a lot for us.. But still we had to drink lots of water.. SPICY!!!

Like a bowl of chili soup, this is fish inside.. Not that fantastic, too many bones!
The nice folks Eric & Rachel! Who brought us here and ate with us despite them not taking spicy food.. burnt their stomaches that day!

2nd July: At Guangzhou Airport

One of the worst carrying experiences ever.. Took a bus here to the Railway station to get to Hong Kong... The bus stopped us a distance away, normally a five mins walk to the station, but becos of our really heavy luggage, we really had lots of trouble.. Sigh..

Thought this was really broken english for an international airport.. haha!

Finally we reached the train station and could get some dinner. This place is really nice! A fast food chinese place! Its called some Kung Fu thingy, but really good food so far as compared to when we were at Yiwu! My fav soup and cabbages were all here!!!


Finally.... on the train to Hong Kong, you cannot imagine how happy we were to leave the sub-urbans and enter into a city.. We really were so looking forward to this!!!
