Three days in guangzhou
The last three days we've been in guangzhou theres not much to see but theres tons of shops and prices are cheap yesterday i got a new pair of shoes for 1 dollar 15 cents. Sopping would be somewhat fun if my mom didn't drag us to the worst stores and make us stay there for forever. We spent thirty minutes in a store that was only one tiny 10x15 room. Other than shopping we haven't done much the other day we went to get my sister's visa photos and immunizations done. Most days we eat at a restaurant down the street called Lucy's. They have american style food which is great to eat after all the noodles we've eaten since we've gotten here. Today after dinner at Lucy's i looked into these two restaurants where i had seen tanks but hadn't been able to see what was in them. I walked in and there were eels, frogs, turtles,snakes,and Water Beetles. All of which you could buy for the restaurant to cook for you. The only thing in the restaurant that looked appatizing were the giant lobsters they were probably a foot to two feet long. That would be a big meal. Yesterday we went down to look at the pool it wasn't warm outside so no one wanted to go in. We felt the water it was very very cold. I asked how much money my family would pay me if i jumped in. I got 20 yuan the water was very cold. We also found out a few days ago that my sister took a gunshooting class in school. They spent the whole year learning about guns and shooting guns. Last night we went to a thai restaurant just around the corner called the cow and bridge. I ordered Crab in black pepper sauce. They brought out the plate along with plastic gloves a shell craker and some sort of a probe to get the meat out with. Myt stepdad's dinner was served in a giant pineapple and my sister's in a coconut. Today we also went to a large mall just a few minutes away form the hotel. We went to dvd store where they had cheap dvds most bootleg. we bought about 30 movies because they cost less tan two dollars 15.90 yuan. next we went to a whole separate section of the mall that was dedicated to pearls. Five floors of pearl stores and they were very inexpensive. For a good quality pearl necklace it cost about 60 dollars. Next we went back towards the dvd store and we spotted a whole store devoted to the nightmare before christmas. I was so excited but when i went in i realized how different chinese fashion was. There was hardly anything in the store that i liked and what i did like cost a ton. So i didn't end up getting anything in there. For lunch we went to pizza hut. It was almost exactly the same as home which is always nice after you've been eating strange foods for days on end. Okay i'm done sorry about not posting for a few days i'll post tomorrow.
