Jalan-jalan di China... (dan Hong Kong)

For this year vacation, we were not physically prepared for long walk. We were not able to jog at FRIM park prior to the trip due to the recent heat wave (ala alasan jer tu...).

In the wee morning of March 16, we flew to Guangzhou, China.

This time, we walked a lot. Our option for public transport was limited. Taxi - we spoke no Cantonese or Mandarin. Local bus - all destinations were written in Chinese. So our option was left only to the Metro (subway train) which we used a lot. Although it was very efficient, the Metro network does not cover all places. So we walked, and walked, and pengsan......... aduh penat nye!!
