Tour of South China

0.1 The Appetizer

To kick the tour off, we decided to start at Elcardo in Changkat Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur.

With our flight leaving at 5am in the morning, some idiot (i.e. me) suggested we start the holiday by driving up to KL the previous evening and have a slap-up meal before begining the tour. Unfortunately some other idiots AGREED!! So off we went, and the first boar was downed before the actual tour kicked off.

1.1 Ghuangzhaou "The first meal"

After an uneventful flight, we were immediately brought to the first meal of our trip
This was in a "small" local restaurant. Small indeed! It had a sitting capacity for at least 100 and at least 3 private rooms! 
 Specialties sampled included pineapple beer, the local rice wine and
 the "low yee" (fish). An "Entry Level" start to the trip. 

The pineapple beer being sampled in Pepsi cups.

1.2 Ghuangzhou (City of Smog and Elevated Highways)

I'll just let the pictures do the talking. Please note the highway over the cables of the cable-car in the last photograph.
