Enjoyed our meetings and colleagues. Went to dinner at a typical Guangdong/Canton restaurant. Menu was very creative. Plenty of exotics - baby pigeon, sting ray, fish guts, beetles, snakes, chicken feet. Was a bit naseous, but likely because of jet lag.

... doesn't speak English nor does the lead of the sim-card mafia, but he jumps in the front seat after I negotiate 200 yuan for the ride into the city using the hotel's chinese character address. Guess he just made commission on me. 30 minutes to GZ city center

From Hong Kong we took the bus into Guangzhou
(formerly Canton). Murtha and I spent a month travelling around China in
1982 and boy, has in changed. What was a small city of one story brick is

We were greeted by a ...

In Guangzhou, the pollution is so bad that I haven't actually seen the sun in 3 weeks (but it is still 28 degrees); nor have I smelled anything but diesel exhuast and rotting garbage. Luckily my sense of humour tends to override these unpleasant ...

... had to bite my lip to keep from cracking up.) Besides, when meeting people who have opted for this terrible third method for choosing an English name, or any method that hasn't worked out so well, it is best to simply smile and say "Hi, I'm Dennis...Well it's nice to meet you too... Water." After all, they're the ones that are accommodating our inability to master even the simplest aspects of their language. Can you even imagine trying to choose a Chinese name on your own, Goat Butt?
