Day 2: GuangZhou

Basically day 2 was a shopping day for us,and the weather was pretty stuffy that day,wearing a cardigan was a bad idea.

I'm always the first one to wake up when we're on trip,I don't know why I just tend to wake up on time when we're on trip. 




Breakfast at 大可以,just opposite our hotel.




This is what we always see outside of our hotel,people loading goods.
Notice the stacked goods on the trolley? 
They pull trolleys and send goods like that,it's faster than sending the goods by minivan or truck.


Extended trolley.




Here we are at 上下九.
Stuff there are like super cheap,you can bargain with them.
My cousin and aunt got a shirt that originally costs 168RMB at 58RMB.












Hahaha! I find this really cute!


Had McD as lunch,thought of having pork burger but too bad that outlet has no pork burger for idk what reason.





Place where they sell jades.



The real 宝芝林that sells Chinese medicine.


Headed to 玩具城 that is nearby our hotel.
Most people come here for business and getting supplies so for us,we couldn't buy anything at cheaper price because if you wanna buy stuff at cheaper price you gotta buy like 30 of them? 
Everytime I went to one particular shop and ask for price I'll normally ask them
''这多少钱,买多有便宜吗?''
And the person will be like
''有啊,买上三十个就批发价。''
Then me and my cousin will be like ''errr ok,ciao.'' 
So after asking prices for a couple of times,I give up asking them ''买多有便宜吗?'' because when they mean 多is really 很多for us.
So since we couldn't buy that much,we just have to buy them at retail price.

But I'll guarantee you that once you get to know how much the stuff cost at wholesale price,you confirm won't buy them at retail price already.This is why I didn't buy anything there.
Now you see how people earn your money.


Grudging weather of Guangzhou.
A couple of days before we went to Guangzhou,the forecasts and even the news on tv mentioned that the place was facing thunderstorms everyday. I was so upset because I afraid that it would ruin our trip but luckily,throughout the first day it didn't rain but it did rain for a while during the second day.
It was so scary that even when it was afternoon when it rained,the sky turned dark as if it was nighttime already.


Took this photo while we were running back,literally ran back to the hotel!
Everyone on the street started to speed up except me,stood there and take photo some more.
Haha!


Our purchases at 玩具城.
These roughly costs about 100+ Malaysia Ringgit,we got it at wholesale price coz we bought quite a lot.


Dinner at 大家乐.
Chinese fast food.




When to shop at night again!
The weather turned really chilly after the rain I guess it was like 22 or 23 degree?
I just loveeee it.
天河城百货located inside 北京路.
The shopping mall where my bro,cousin and I got a lot of our nike and adidas stuff!


Buying luggage,we bought luggage in 3 sizes and it costs roughly RM500.


Light purple is mine,the other one is my cousin's.
There's actually 2 more luggages in each of them.


A must drink for me.
The last time I drank it was at HK.


Again,loading goods at night just opposite our hotel.
See how busy they are?


Yay! Purchases!


My favourite are these dresses.
The one on the left only costs 59RMB which is RM29.50.
After realizing how cheap these stuff can be and their costs,I don't know how to shop at KL already.


Took very less photo on that day because we were basically busy shopping.
Haha! Also for the last two days,I didn't take much photos as well.

Actually I could combine them in this posts but I'm just too lazy la,I shall leave them first!
Till then!

Day 1: GuangZhou

My first time to Guangzhou with my family!
I was so jelly of them because my parents and brother all went there for a couple of times already so I must pay a visit to Guangzhou as well and not to mention this is also the first time having an oversea trip with my cousin,Seline.

Basically me and my bro planned this trip and what we did the most were shop and walk.
So,on last Monday night which was 23rd of April,we departed at 8.30pm and landed at Guangzhou in 12.30am in the morning.


Here's yours truly with luggage of seven person.
Very little for 7 person right? 
That's the purpose,we travel light and make more spaces for our purchases!


Supper on the plane,nothing much to do except eating.


First morning at Guangzhou,view outside our hotel room!


Got ready for our trip to 番禺 (Panyu).


This is taken on the doorstep of our hotel.
The location of our hotel is pretty strategic,just in the middle of 上下九 which is 3.1km away and 北京步行街 which is 2.2km away. 
So we can go to both of these places by foot.
But to be honest la,it gets really tired to walk to-and-fro for both of the places,not to mention,you still needa shop when you reach the place.

The highways at Guangzhou are like so high above from ground. 
You'll be like woah.


This is where we had our breakfast.


Dim sum!!



Sisters.



Our driver (on the left) and daddy (on the right).
The driver serves my uncle everytime they fly to Guangzhou for business purpose and he calls my bro 叶仔. Haha!! Leaf. -.-


Mountain!


Fried zhu cheong fan.



叶女 and 叶仔 



Our taxi,the one without car plate. o.O




Arriving.



First stop,Safari.














Having fun soaking in the water?


Sunbathing.Lol!


Lol at the one hugging the rock! 
Haha they're just too cute la,macam-macam pattern pun ade.


Rhino! 
They have really poor sight but strong sense of smell and hearing.



Hippopotamus.


Zebra,is this how close we were with the animals.


Giraffe.
The age of giraffe can be determined by the tone of their spot. The darker the spots are,the older that particular giraffe is.
And also,giraffes have high blood pressure by nature.



Haha nice pose.




My bro told me to take a picture of him with this board which sends a message to human on earth to leave the friends of mankind alone,just simply let them stay where they are.


Forget about the English version,the Chinese version is the point of this message.







羊驼,I don't know what is it called in English.
I only know that this baby is sooo cute and innocent,the leash was actually tied to her neck.When the staff saw us approaching,he tied it on her mouth. Look at her eyes,many many big and round! 
And the baby also whimpers like a puppy!!



Mummy not dare to touch. Lol!



Panda center! 
We made it after walking for idk how many miles. 
Phew!



Sleep like a boss.


And they're always eating.
The amount of what they eat is up to half of their body weight.


I didn't know what are these until I saw where these came from with my own eyes,they are actually the pandas' poop.
They look like the sugar cane bagasse, I know.


Wah,dude,you can finish or not?!



Theme park for some adrenaline rush! Actually too much of adrenaline rush I had.
It is also one of the top must-visit place at Guangzhou!



My bro's hair got styled after the roller coaster ride. Hahaah!
And I got sore throat for screaming too much.


This was our first ride. 


90 degree slope! Super crayji!


My favourite,coz not as scary as the others. 


Hahaah! Oppps,I know this looks a bit scary.



4D movie before we leave,the movie was IceAge.
Even their 4D movie is very gan jiong one coz you might get poke at your back or on your butt. Haha!



Went to this place before dinner where a lot of Chinese tea suppliers located.



品茶 :)




Then we had our dinner at 金稻香酒家




烧鹅
We have this almost every dinner because you just can't get 烧鹅 that good in Malaysia.





Super exhausted.


Trying hard to open my eyes big big!

After dinner we went back to Guangzhou from Panyu.
Saw this building on our way,there's a hole inside!



7 of us!



Stupid act.Haha!


Bought a Guangzhou Tower's lookalike as our ice-cream. 



I just love this building so much la,it's so pretty don't you think?
I can stare at the building forever.






Yap's family.






Notice the slanted building behind me?


Wah~~super strong wind until the building also slanted!


One last stop for the day 北京步行街.





I love streets with lotsa advertising board. 
This brings the city to life!


So we went back to hotel after one whole day of traveling from here and there.
There goes our first day.
The most tiring day I'd say.
