Hello folks glad to be myLotting again. It's been a while that I have not dropped by after my China Trip. I am back from a 5 day shopping galore so I say as Guanzhou China is not an ideal place to go on tour but actually a shopping center. Oh yes the best place to shop and buy things and I recommend for those who are into business one can find almost anything there. I had tried many eateries but there is one that really stands out, it's the Tiger Prawns Restaurant . They offer the best and the cheapest selection of Chinese Vietnamese Foods but one has to bear lining up for hours before one can be facilitated, thanks that a friend advised us to say the ,magic word" we are from the Philippines so that you do not have to queue. I hope everyone is doing great.

I cannot remember the names lol, as the menu is written in Chinese Characters, we just ask the English speaking manager to do the selection and whatever she recommends turn out to be really good. We had white chicken in white sauce, some seafoods and soups,, veggies, noodles. They accommodate Filipinos because we are tourists and we were not charged of any service fee and government tax. True like divisoria. We met somebody there who owns a store in greenhills. Now I know where he gets his merchandize lol.

@hereandthere I bought, wallets, bags, shoes, clothes, watches, but not in commercial quantity but just for personal and family members, There was no excess luggage as we weighed all our baggage beforehand and put in other's luggage some excess. My companions actually bought some big items which will be shipped by container van. They own a hotel so they did all the purchases there such as pillows, towels, bed sheets.

@nela13 I only bought a few for me and my family plus something for my staff and they are good deals. I bought a Gucci Bag which looked like the real thing, at least that was the most expensive thing I bought for 620 RnB if you don't want to have the brand it's cheaper.

Yes, I've heard of the sweat shops. I wonder why they cannot be given a decent living. They produce international brands so they must be treated well. I heard of the Foxcon Technology.

Welcome back from a trip and i like that roof as it very colorful. I heard and my friend who visited china much time for business purposes also said that people come there for business as good for them. I am sure you enjoyed the food there too.

Yes, the roof is very colorful at night and it creates a festive effect. Yes most people go there for business. The food is good but a bit pricey compared to the Philippines.

Why do they prioritize Filipinos? Is it because they are very, very interested in our country?
