China - Guangzhou

From Shanghai we took a plane to Guangzhou. We had a little bit too much luggage, which was not a problem for the airport staff (a lot of things are done not too accurately in China).



We had an internet cafe right next to our hotel. It was full of Chinese kids who played all day.



Guangzhou is not too small (about 3.2 million people), but a lot less touristy than the other towns we have been to. Everybody was looking at us when we were walking around on the street.



The Chinese kitchen gets stranger in the South, we visited a market with weird ingredients, herbs and dried animals ... probably for Chinese traditional medicine. I felt sorry for the dried sea horses (yuk!).



We had a stroll around the city and the island next to it.



This guy was selling tiger paws and other things I did not want to know about.



Frogs ...



... and more markets.



So enough with the disgusting things, this guy had a HUGE amount of boxes on his bike.



And totally unexpected - Octoberfest in China!



We did not stay in Guangzhou for too long (and I was VERY afraid of eating I have to admit), so after two days we moved on to Hong Kong! No more gruesomeness, I promise!
