Evidently, Western wedding photography is big here. There is a company that the bride and groom can go into their shop, the bride can pick out any dress she likes (and the groom, his tux), get makeup and hair done, and go out for a photoshoot! It doesn't matter if the dress doesn't fit, they just pin it. AND you can do this any day of the week! We saw pictures like this being taken all through the weedkdays as well as the weekend.
We stayed on Shamain Island. It was the only British outpost on mainland China during the 19th century. It was beautiful, but very British colonial. It didn't feel totally like China.

Tai Chi in the morning.
This is a pagoda and waterfall at the White Swan. By the way, if you are ever in Guangzhou, that is the place to stay. It is beautiful!
Bridges link Shamien Island with the city of Guangzhou. Cross the bridge and you feel like you are back in China.
Now we are back in China...
We used a laundry service while we were in Guangzhou. Then, as we walked down the street, we'd see all the clothes drying like this. I half expected to look up and recognize the pants, shirt, or underwear!!
Mao's Little Red Book
We visited the pearl market on one of our last days...
This is ONE store...these bags are FULL of pearls...there are a dozen or so more stores like this!
MMM...octopus on a stick! Can't beat that snack. It's almost as good as chicken feet!

Working hard...always!
