Nothing much really happened today. I am a Cantonese, but honestly speaking, I felt happier in Hong Kong than I was in Guangzhou, even though Guangzhou is situated in the Guangdong province where I can better locate my roots. Maybe I am too much of an urbanite. Anyway, we boarded a bus and crossed the Chinese border, stopping over in Shenzhen before we finally arrived in Guangzhou in the afternoon. We visited a junior high school, and then proceeded to a local university for a welcome dinner hosted by its vice-principal. We met a few good friends there who could communicate well in English, and all of us enjoyed our dinner to a large extent, accompanied by Cantonese cuisine and, of course, some beer. How can a meal in mainland China be complete without booze or wine?
