Yesterday the weather was a lot better than it was
the day before or on the evening when I arrived in
Foshan. So I went out for a walk around the park and
along the road.
In the afternoon I went to the nearby market to have
a look at the stuffs that they're selling. It's very
much like the sort've market that I used to go to
with my mom when I was a kid. And the the lady
selling the chicken was quite vocal. And I can't
argue at the freshness of her produce. The chickens
are still alive behind her... and she only kills and
cuts them up when someone buys them. Cool... but not
for the squeamish. Hehehe! :)
I looked around some more and I found a lot of
interesting stuffs. I also discovered that they sell
San Miguel Beer here in Foshan! Wow! Neat! :)
Later in the evening I went to Chinese New Year's
Eve dinner with some of the people from work.
Usually everyone is expected to go back to their
provinces... but this year a lot of them got
stranded in Foshan because of the severe winter weather and snow storm. The food was great, and it's
good to be in the company of people who share the
same sentiment. I guess I'm also feeling the same
way. I feel like I should be somewhere else... with
someone
else.
Because it's New Year's Eve it was near impossible
to catch a cab. So I walked part of the way back to
the hotel where I'm staying. It was cold... so I
just walked as briskly as I could. And I just kept
thinking how hot it was in Manila this time last
week. Hehehe! The city looks fabulous at night...
but it's not as busy as it usually is. Everyone's
gone home to their family and friends. I'm
different... I just started my odyssey here in
China. :)
